    What a brilliant trip with Homefans. The whole experience was absolutely amazing and well organised. This is a game you need to experience in your lifetime if you are fanatical about footy. I have used Homefans in the past for this fixture before, what makes the trip 10 times better is the local host Lindsay she is a brilliant host who is friendly, funny and has vast knowledge of the Scottish game. The trip also allows you to meet new people as well, myself and my father met up with old friends met through HomeFans previously and made new friends on this trip. The group we had for the trip was amazing and I could not of asked for a better bunch of folk to spend it with. Folks if you want a footy experience to never forget get an old firm booked asap. Trip made even better with the hoops scoring in the last minute.

    What an incredible trip - amazing seats at Celtic Park for 2-1 derby win, three nights at convenient and comfortable downtown hotel, and most importantly our brilliant host Lindsay! She made the matchday logistics so smooth and easy, and had loads of background to share about her city, club, and experiences as a supporter. Total rock star :)

    Lindsay was a super great host. She guided us through a snowstorm to some supporters pubs and to the stadium before the game. She offered plenty support and recommendations for after. The game is absolutely mind blowing, worth every penny. Hotel was very nice too. Can’t want to book another trip with Homefans.

    Lindsay was a great host who helped a group of 20 navigate our way to Celtic Park for a beer beforehand and into the game. The atmosphere was everything it’s cracked up to be and the homefans team and Lindsay were excellent through and through. Thanks again!

    Great hotel, great host (Lindsay) and great experience watching the Glasgow derby at Celtic Park. We have also seen Partick Thistle vs. Queens Park FC and did a tour at Hampden Park We had three great days in Glasgow. Lindsay is a great host and she dealt with some issues very well. And she is very good company before and after the match.

    Wow. What a weekend. Celtic battered Rangers 4-0 and scored three times at our end. Paradise indeed!! Lindsay was a top host, she KNOWS everything that matters about the Bhoys in green & white. Lindsay organised getting us on the stadium tour on Sunday morning. Another wow! Hotel was excellent and perfectly located (near Central Station so we saw Pollock v Leith on Friday night). We wpuld recommend this intense experience to any real football fan.

    I couldn't recommend enough! The host Lindsay was superb and had a great knowledge of the club and Scottish football. On day 1, we were took to the 'non-league' Celtic to see the St Roch's play. It was a great experience and there was a brilliant atmosphere and community feel. Following that, we were took for food round the west end then a scoot round the underground to city centre to see some of the local celtic bars. That was a great night! The matchday experience was unbelievable. While Celtic could only draw, the atmosphere of derby day was something to behold. We were also gifted a scarf and a hat which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go again!

    What a phenomenal trip (except the result). Our host Lindsay was brilliant she was friendly and really knowledgeable about the Scottish game. The Maldron was a brilliant hotel very central couldn’t complain good breakfast which was included in the deal. First night we all went to a pub near the hotel the two other lads and Lindsay what a laugh we had couldn’t of ask for a better bunch. The atmosphere at the game was amazing, you have to experience a Celtic vs Rangers game nothing like it. Shame about the result but Lindsay and the two lads we met made the weekend for us. This was our second trip with HomeFans definitely will be booking another trip soon plus the whole package was value for money. Thanks for the Scarfs and Hats Homefans

    Had an amazing trip. Everything (apart from the result) was just about perfect. Our local guide - Lindsay - was an absolute star. Went above and beyond, even taking me to the Partick game on the Saturday (not included in the original itinerary). Super knowledgeable and friendly. There were 3 other people in the group and I could not have wished for a better bunch to watch my first Glasgow derby with. We just clicked immediately and all had a great time. Hotel (Maldron) was spot on. When you add up all the various components of the weekend it is really good value. It was my first trip with Homefans and will definitely be using them again for season 2022/23.

    First time booking with Home Fans and the only negative was the result of the game. Our local host Lindsay was super friendly and took the group of 4 to a nice pub on the Saturday where we all had a great craic, as we say here in Dublin. The Maldron Hotel was perfectly situated too and was good accommodation. Breakfast was included too. On arrival to the hotel I received my match ticket and a Celtic Hat and Scarf which was cool. Match Day we went to a hardcore Celtic pub then off to the game. A bucket list match, incredible atmosphere, the best I've experienced. I found the trip great value. The social aspect of it is something you can't put a price on. I got very lucky with the three guys I met on the trip and of course our wonderful host Lindsay. 5 stars. Will be booking again for sure.

    This was my first time booking through Homefans and I will definitely book there again next time. We were supposed to go during the new years eve, but because of COVID-19 the match was postponed. We have been kept very well informed during the certain days. Once in Glasgow, we also visited another match on the advice of Homefans (Patrick Thistle against Ayr). A very nice old stadium with only room for 10.000 people. On matchday we had an awesome local that also took us to the pubs. She knew so much about the history of Celtic. And then the derby... Celtic won with 3-0 against Rangers, it was a madhouse! What an experience and what a great trip. I'll definitely go back to Scotland one day.
