In the autumnal year of 1887, specifically on 6th November, Celtic Football Club became a formal entity. The passage of time has seen this Glasgow institution make their home at Celtic Park, often serving up a spectacle of football on those chilled Scottish evenings.
The fertile ground of Celtic Park has nurtured a squad currently valued at approximately £111m, or thereabouts. As Transfermarkt reports, each individual player contributing to this collective value, cracking the boots and the spirit on the pitch.
This horde, at the heart of the Parkhead outfit, displays an impressive spread of footballing talent across the board, totalling 36 players. Notably youthful, the selection boasts an average age of a mere 25, teetering on the precipice between a lightening quick left winger and a solid, stalwart centre-half.
As the dragon of the current footballing season breathes fire, Celtic have been tested across five distinct battlefields. They currently hold 2nd position within the Premiership, no minor achievement. Additionally, they have skirmished to the bracing finale of the League Cup, were granted a rather early farewell in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, and have braved both the Champions League Qualifiers and the Europa League. A full roster, indeed.
