Celtic Park attracts, on average, around 57-58,000 people to every home game [1], which means that Celtic are second only to Manchester United [2] in terms of average attendance records in British football.
Additionally, Celtic remain the only Scottish club ever to have reached the final, and are the only club ever to win the trophy with a team composed entirely of home-grown talent; all of the players in the side were Scottish, and all were born within a 30-mile radius of Celtic Park in Glasgow.
Celtic also hold the SPL record for an unbeaten run of home matches (77), spanning from 2001 to 2004 (this run was ended by a 3-2 defeat to Aberdeen on 21 April 2004), and the record for the longest run of consecutive wins in a single season (25 matches).

Celtic Park was a ground that had always caught my eye on television - not just because it looked a magnificent stadium, but because of the passion and fervour of the fans who flock there in their thousands every fortnight.

Defeat by Celtic when a draw would have knocked their rivals out of the chase, followed by dropped points at Dens Park after Celtic had seemingly surrendered after defeat at Tynecastle.
The Dens Park side certainly have the ability to trouble Rangers as they have shown in the League but they go into the Final without a win of any kind since beating Inverness CT in the semi-final and with only a victory over bottom team Motherwell in their last ten League outings.
While Celtic's performance was a sharp riposte to their critics it is only fair to say that Porto looked the better team throughout.
