Hampden Park square goalposts

One of the square goalposts seen at the 1971 European Cup match between Celtic and Ajax played at Hampden Park

The Hampden Park square goalposts were a pair of goalposts used at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland, for football matches. The goalposts were noted as being wooden and square shaped rather than the usual metal and rounded shape of football goalposts.[1] They were used from 1903 until 1987 when FIFA banned their use. They now reside in the museum of AS Saint-Étienne at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Étienne, France.[1]
