The changing face of Scotland's football grounds over the last 40 years
Impossibly steep terraces, towering floodlight pylons looming over the playing surface, and wooden throwbacks to the 1920s were once common appearances at most Scottish football grounds – although more than a few vanished as clubs moved to new stadiums to avoid costly and time-consuming upgrades on tired stands.
Many of the grounds that survived have changed beyond recognition although some – like Dundee, Motherwell, Dundee United or Raith Rovers – have retained unique or quirky aspects to this day. We've picked out 13 Scottish football grounds to have undergone serious redevelopment since the 1980s.
