Rangers’ Ibrox and Celtic’s Celtic Park have been named the first- and second-best stadiums in Britain respectively ahead of Anfield and Old Trafford.

The two Scottish Premiership clubs have exchanged a heated rivalry at both the Ibrox and Celtic Park during their famous Old Firm derby matches.

FourFourTwo compiled the rankings for the 100 best stadiums in Britain and Rangers’ Ibrox edged out Celtic Park to the top sport.

The football magazine said that three sides of the 50,817-seat stadium are “aesthetically smart” and pointed to its “sheer vibrancy, passion and intensity, on and off the pitch.”

 

FourFourTwo added that “nothing on these shores compares to the matchday experience at an Old Firm fixture” and is probably only matched by the experience of the Superclasico derby between Boca Juniors and River Plate.

The 60,411-seat Celtic Park finished second, while Liverpool’s world-renowned Anfield stadium took home the No 3 spot in the rankings.

Manchester United’s Old Trafford fell short of clinching the No 4 spot -- having to settle for a fifth-placed position -- with Fulham’s Craven Cottage finishing ahead of it.

Premier League clubs Aston Villa, Tottenham and Newcastle all finished inside the top 10, while Heart of Midlothian was the third Scottish club to make the top 10.

Wembley secured the No 10 spot in the rankings, with the 90,000-capacity stadium “finally [feeling] like a proper home for the England team at Euro 2020.”

Craven Cottage?

[CosbehFox]

Whoever they asked is talking total shite. Both Glasgow clubs have atmosphere but both stadiums are way behind modern design and hated by away supporters. 
 

Anfield and Old Trafford should be nowhere near on the same point. The latter has a roof that leaks and terrible viewing angles 

[Out Foxed]

surely it should be King Power/St.Mary's

[Blueman1967]

No way Craven Cottage, can be fourth!!!!

[Fox92]

Villa Park remains my favourite. Absolute superb ground.

[purpleronnie]

Scotland get 1st and 2nd, i agree but it's funny.

Why not? It’s a proper British ground. There is only one stand which has supports affecting your view and that’s a listed building alongside the original cottage pavilion 
 

It’s a beautiful stadium on the banks of the Thames 

[bovril]

Craven Cottage is great

[Paninistickers]

Extremely pleasing to see that Derby have been totally forgotten. Obvs not by me, nor I'd assume their civil partner the red filth. But everyone else has forgotten they exist 

[kingkisnorbo]

Shocked we’re that high tbh.

So it better then Leeds for atmosphere for instant, l have been and l did  have a bad view.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Not sure what their criteria is for ranking these. Ours is better than St Mary's even though they're the same by virtue of it being fairly close to the city centre though - Southampton's feels like it's in a back end of the place time forgot.

[Ted Maul]

Haven't done Celtic Park but Ibrox is fantastic- that main stand is a work of art and my favourite in world football.

 

Villa Park is the best in England.
