Celtic: The Official History

The story of a football club born in a poverty-stricken corner of Glasgow—and its powerful rise to champion status and worldwide renown.

Celtic is a club like no other. Its story is a unique one, of a football club founded to raise money to help alleviate poverty within the predominantly Irish immigrant community of Glasgow’s East End. Yet, from its inception, Celtic has been a club open to all. From those humble and charitable origins, Celtic have gone on to become one of the most famous names in world football.

In 1967, they became the first British club to win the European Cup, while domestically they have won, to date, 47 league titles, 36 Scottish Cups, and 16 League Cups. The story of Celtic continues—a story of success on the field, backed by a strong organization off it, and all underpinned by a commitment to remain true to the charitable roots of the club.
