Parkhead Stadium was a railway station in the east end of Glasgow. It was opened by the Caledonian Railway as Parkhead on 1 February 1897.[1]
In recognition of its proximity to the Celtic Park football stadium, it was known as Parkhead (for Celtic Park) by 1904;[2] and it was also referred to in some timetables as Parkhead for Celtic Park.[1]
The station was renamed Parkhead Stadium by British Railway Board on 3 March 1952.[1] The nearby ex-North British Railway's Coatbridge Branch station, "Parkhead", was renamed "Parkhead North" on 30 June 1952.[1]
It was closed to passengers on 5 October 1964.[1]
