Are you thinking of Park Lane Studios? Back in the day Texas , Gun and other Glasgow acts recorded there.
The studio is still going : http://www.parklanerecordingstudios.com/index.html

It might not have meant to be that, but it certainly looked like that to me when I was 5!
It would have been early to mid 70's and it would have had to be somewhere around Celtic Park. Anyone remember anything like that?
I very rarely go to the games nowadays, and I wouldn't know where to look anyway.
The football boot and ball set into the cobbles was at the junction of Yate Street and Gallowgate. The link to John Thomson of Celtic is an urban myth, as the work was carried out by a man named O'Malley prior to Thomson's death in 1931. You can see a good account of this little piece of history in Charlie McDonald's 'Old Parkhead'. I don't know where it is now, maybe it did end up in the revitalised Barrowfield.
