Celtic were founded on sixth November 1887 and have built their life around Celtic Park, a ground that still gives the club much of its scale and edge. Their recent record has kept the modern standard high: the 2025/2026 Premiership followed league titles in 2024/2025, 2022/2023 and 2021/2022, with the 2024/2025 League Cup added in between. Across the listed honours, that stands at 16 Premiership titles, eight Scottish Cups and eight League Cups.
The 2026/2027 season has opened with Celtic top of the Premiership on 18 points after seven rounds, with 26 still to play. The most recent league run carries one blemish, a 0-1 home defeat to Rangers, but it came after five straight wins, including a 5-1 away victory at Kilmarnock and a 3-0 home win over Aberdeen.
The squad is broad rather than bare, with 34 players, an average age of 25, and a market value of around £112m according to Transfermarkt. Camilo Durán has led the scoring with six goals, ahead of Benjamin Nygren on five, while Kasper Høgh, Mika Baur and Hyun-jun Yang have added useful support.
At home, Celtic have been more controlled than expansive, averaging 1.5 goals scored and just 0.5 conceded per match. Away from Celtic Park, the attack has carried sharper numbers, with 2.7 goals per match and only 0.7 conceded. They have also struck first inside 20 minutes in six of 18 league matches, which says enough about the tempo they are trying to impose.
The wider campaign has included a League Cup quarter-final, Champions League qualifying play-offs and the Europa League league phase. Celtic remain where they expect to be domestically: first in the Premiership, with the squad depth and early points total to keep pressure on the rest.
