Celtic, founded on 6 November 1887, remain anchored at Celtic Park and at the centre of Scottish football’s weather system. The club’s recent weight is not merely inherited: the 2025/26 Premiership title followed league wins in 2024/25, 2023/24 and 2022/23, with the 2024/25 League Cup adding another domestic marker. In the record presented here, that places Celtic on 17 Premiership titles, alongside eight Scottish Cups and eight League Cups.
The current squad is valued at around £112m by Transfermarkt, with 34 players and an average age of 25. It is a group built with enough depth for a crowded calendar, which has already included the League Cup quarter-finals, Champions League qualifying play-offs and the Europa League league phase.
Domestically, Celtic have set the pace again. They sit top of the Premiership with 31 points, 13 rounds into a 38-game season, and the underlying numbers are suitably firm: an average of 2.3 goals scored and 0.7 conceded at home, with two goals scored and 0.8 conceded away. Scoring first inside 20 minutes in nine of 18 league matches points to a side still capable of imposing itself early rather than waiting for games to loosen.
Camilo Durán has carried the sharpest edge with 13 goals, supported by Benjamin Nygren on eight. Recent form has had a little texture – a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock, a 2-0 defeat at Falkirk and a 2-2 draw with Dundee United coming after wins over Hibernian, Hearts and Motherwell – but Celtic’s position remains clear.
Celtic are first in the Premiership, with 20 league matches remaining, and continue to define the domestic standard their supporters expect them to meet.
