Located to the south-east of the Eastern Necropolis graveyard in the
Parkhead district of Glasgow, Celtic Park was opened on 8 May 1888. The club had obtained a lease on the site on 13 November 1887, and over the next six months Celtic founder
Brother Walfrid brought together a large group of Irish volunteers to build the ground; Celtic's first match at the ground was played on 28 May 1888 against
Rangers, with the home side winning 5–2 in front of almost 2,000 spectators. The club moved a short distance to a new ground, which was also named
Celtic Park. The final league match at the original Celtic Park was played on 14 May 1892, a 2–0 win over
Leith Athletic. After the Renton match (the result of which had been expunged when Renton were expelled from the SFL a few weeks into the season), Celtic had not lost another league game at the ground. The site was later used for housing. ==References==
