List of Football Club Stadiums Celtic Park Stadium What the Papers SayThanks to computer technology, Celtic fans can now wander behind the scenes at their spiritual home without leaving their actual home.
By logging on to wantastadiumtour.com and paying £2, the virtual fan gets beyond the doorman in the Celtic blazer and at the click of a mouse can boldly go places usually inaccessible to your common or garden supporter.
Hang about the showers. Take a peek into the physio's treatment room. Sample the splendour of the boardroom. Or get behind the desk in the press room where Gordon Strachan has his jousts with the football hacks.
Ranger fans might consider it worthwhile to pay the £2 just to walk by the Terry Butcher memorial away dressing room door and give it a virtual kick.
This is a tour of the stadium's bricks and mortar and fixtures and fittings, so sadly there are no human beings on display. So ladies, or indeed gentlemen, don't expect to see bulging thighs in the shower room. There is not a strained groin in sight in the treatment room.
With some imagination, the online Tim can have a virtual drink in the hospitality lounge. Or attend a virtual board meeting and vote massive virtual funds for a virtual Strachan to buy further virtual players. They can then go and sit in the virtual dug-out or, if they want to be a virtual Strachan, get themselves banned to the virtual stand.
The best bit of the tour is being on the virtual hallowed turf. With manipulation of the mouse, the fan can move slowly about the pitch, a bit like a virtual John Hartson.
The viewer can stand at the very corner flag where Lubo Moravcik would receive the adulation of the fans. Or amble past the 18-yard line where Henrik Larsson nutmegged Bert Kontermann and scored in the 6-2 game.
A Crossford firm is giving football fans the chance to explore their favourites' stadium - without leaving the comfort of their home.
The behind-the-scenes virtual tour takes fans into the home and away dressing rooms, boot room, the pitch, stands, boardroom and trophy cabinet of their team.
And it's all at the click of a mouse thanks to Wanta Co. Ltd, a family-run business which has launched the Wantastadiumtour.com website.
It uses state-of-the-art iPIX image technology which enables users to view a full horizontal and vertical panorama of each area and the ability to navigate between locations.
At present it only covers the champions of Scotland and England, Celtic and Chelsea, but the company is already in negotiations with a view to including Dunfermline Athletic as well as other Scottish, English and European teams.
Managing Director Heather Richardson said, "We are really excited to be able to bring virtual stadium tours to fans from overseas as well as locally based, to give them the opportunity to experience behind-the-scenes of their club's stadium. With stadiums in daily use, not all rooms are available to fans on a physical tour - our comprehensive virtual tour will provide full access 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
