In November 2007 the city of Glasgow was selected to host the 2014 Commonwealth and Celtic Park will play a significant part in the games by hosting an opening ceremony which will be broadcast around the world.

It is unlikely that hosting the games' opening ceremony will se any significant changes to the interior or capacity of the stadium but there are expected to be considerable improvements carried out to the surrounding environs and public transport links to the area. Directly across the road from Celtic Park a multi-million pound National Sports Arena and Velodrome are to be built on wasteground.

Below is an artists impression of the opening ceremony at Celtic Park which was produced as part of the games' bid.
