At the corner of the Celtic End and the Jungle – who used to enter the ground down in that corner?
Aye these where the entrance turnstiles of choice then we would head to The Jungle happy days man! (Joe Bone)
Every 2nd week! (Pio Moireach)
Aye. Walk down hamburger alley, turn on to Janefield Street, and funnel along past the houses. Always amazed me that there were so many windows with the same ornate blinds in them. Then queue to get in the turnstiles, nip through the bogs, pop up at the first passage in the jungle and wander down to “our” spot. Happy days. Modern fitba is rubbish. (George Walker)
Here’s the last o the Macaroons!’ (Alan Crawford)
Used to come in that entrance all the time after walking down Janefield street, once inside we had to make a dash before they closed off the way in to the Jungle, remember particularly well the league clincher v Dundee in ’88, I never made it in on time and ended up in the Celtic end, still a fantastic day though and probably the largest crowd I’ve ever seen at Celtic Park, fans everywhere. (Chris Dalton)
Used to enter just at the side of the old Celtic end. Got lifted over in my younger days. You used to able to walk to any part of the ground once you were in. (Alan Crawford)
I did early to mid seventies (Brian Gallacher)
I used to get a lift over at that corner and ma auld man used to stand there and put me doon the front, and we used to sit on the track and a big polis used to come round and tell ye to get back inside the barrier! Used to get “ra macaroon and spearmint Chewin guuum!” Happy days!! (Tony G Dempsey)
Us Bhoys from the Roy Milne Celtic Supporters Club from Alloa and the surrounding area always came in at that corner for a while. HH (John Donnelly)

Great times there as a kid getting a lift over then onto the jungle. (Thomas Mcgowan)

Me. When’s the picture from? I don’t remember it being as open as that, but again my memory ain’t that good now. (Jim McBride)
Those were the days. (Peter Smith)
Used to very often leave from it though I usually met my mates at gate 11 in the Rangers end then walk into the jungle. Then out at that end if we were kicking into the Celtic end 2nd half. (Jim Payne)
What a brilliant picture! I’m probably in it somewhere! (Craig Torrance)
I used 2 come in there on ma way 2 the Jungle. (Mark Mckenna)
Remember not being able to see many games in the Jungle, but the atmosphere was electric, didn’t need to see! (Gary Priestley)
Wow, remember a wee boy going to the jungle and used to get pushed through the turnstile thing as the adults paid. Once a tim always a tim. (Gary Fraser)
Remember it well! Didn’t Ian Ferguson’s mum live in one of the flats? (Christopher Connelly)
I think they stayed in the square on Janefield Street on the graveyard side. (Gus MacInnes)
