Celtic FC

Celtic Football Club (officially The Celtic Football Club) is a Scottish football club based in the Parkhead area of Glasgow, which currently plays in the Scottish Premiership. It was founded on 6 November 1887 and played its first match in 1888. The club plays its home matches at Celtic Park, the largest-capacity stadium in Scottish football, which holds 60,832 seated spectators. Celtic's traditional kit consists of green and white horizontal stripes with white shorts and socks.

Since its foundation, Celtic has won 56 league titles, 43 Scottish Cups and 22 League Cups. Together with its neighbours and rivals Rangers FC, it contests the so-called Old Firm, one of the most famous and fiercest sporting rivalries.

It has achieved the Domestic Treble (League, Cup and League Cup) on 8 occasions, in the seasons 1966–67, 1968–69, 2000–01, 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20 and 2022–23.

In 1967 it became the first British club, and so far the only Scottish one, to win a European Cup, now the UEFA Champions League. The players who won that title, in Lisbon against Inter Milan, became known from then on as the Lisbon Lions, all of them born within a 30-mile radius of Parkhead, the club's home. That season, Celtic won the first "Treble" in the history of European clubs by securing, in addition to the European Cup, the League and the Scottish Cup, which became a quadruple having also won the Scottish League Cup, losing only the Intercontinental Cup to Argentina's Racing Club (the European Super Cup had not yet been established that year). In 1970 it managed to return to another European Cup final, but on that occasion lost to Feyenoord of the Netherlands. Celtic did not play in a European final again until 2003, when it reached the UEFA Cup final, which it lost to FC Porto. Around 80,000 fans travelled with the team to Seville, the venue of the final, even though many did not have tickets. Despite this, Celtic fans were honoured by UEFA and FIFA for their exemplary behaviour at that match. It is estimated that, as of April 2008, Celtic has around nine million supporters worldwide, making it one of the most popular teams in the world.
