Celtic Football Club, established on the 6th of November, 1887, play their home matches at the famed Celtic Park in the heartlands of Scotland. Steeped in over a century of footballing history, this storied institution holds not only the affections of the local populace but also the enviable position of being one of Scotland's most prominent football clubs.
With a total market value nearing around the £111m mark, according to the folks over at Transfermarkt, the Celtic squad is no patchwork assembly. The team boasts of 36 footballers, all skilful at their craft, with an average age of around 25 - a mix of youth's dynamism and experience's sturdy hand, you might cynically prosaize.
This season, the green and white clad warriors of Glasgow have taken to the field in a total of five competitions. Their endeavours include a robust fight for the Premiership title, ending in the commendable second place. An incisive run in the League Cup saw them battle their way to the Final. Simultaneously, their journey in the Scottish Cup took them till the raw trials of the Fifth Round. Their place on the global stage was not empty either, with fights for victory emerging in the Champions League Qualifiers where they reached the fierce Play-Offs, and partaking in the continental dance of the Europa League's League Phase.
While much remains to be written in the annals of Celtic's illustrious story, the current season strikes an undeniably confident chord in their unabating saga.
