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.

📅 Recent results

W

In recent matches, Celtic have recorded three wins, one draw and two losses.

Recent results are a mixed bag: a 3-2 win over Besiktas underlines genuine European intent, but the 0-3 League Cup exit to Rangers was a damaging reminder that single-match slips carry heavy consequences; domestically the team has alternated commanding victories with isolated setbacks, suggesting resilience but occasional inconsistency in knockout or high-pressure fixtures.

📈 League position analysis

After 13 games, Celtic are top of the league.

Celtic have been notably consistent at the summit, occupying first place across the last six rounds and sitting first after thirteen Premiership rounds, which indicates steady form rather than the volatility seen with some rivals.

📊 League form

Track the performance of Celtic in Scotland's Premiership over their last six matches, home and away.

The home/away split shows a team that is comfortable in both environments: home form contains the odd dropped point and a defeat to Rangers, while the away record is characterised by a strong run of wins interrupted by a single reverse at Falkirk, so Celtic function as a reliable winning side on the road as well as at Parkhead.

💪 Strengths and weaknesses

How well-rounded are Celtic across key performance areas this season?

Celtic
Aberdeen

The radar highlights an unusually complete profile: elite attack and defence combined with strong corner generation make Celtic the benchmark in the league; the clearest relative weakness is that home metrics are not quite the very best—home scoring sits behind Heart of Midlothian and home defence just behind Rangers—leaving marginal vulnerabilities against top opponents at Parkhead.

Away

Celtic combine the league's most potent attack with the stingiest defence, a rare balance that forces opponents to chase games; that dual dominance puts them ahead of rivals such as Rangers and Heart of Midlothian, who tend to excel in one area but not both simultaneously.

Away

Discipline is largely controlled: yellow cards tick up slightly away from home (1.8 versus 1.6 at home) but red cards are effectively absent, which helps maintain selection continuity across a congested schedule.

Away

The ceiling is high—eye-catching wins such as 7-1 at home and 5-1 away demonstrate what Celtic can produce on their day—while the worst results have been narrow, with only one-goal home reverses and isolated two-goal away defeats, so the team's floor remains modest.

Celtic exert set-piece dominance, averaging 8.3 corners at home and 7.5 away while conceding comparatively few, a territorial advantage that consistently feeds their attacking output.

Camilo Durán is the principal goal threat, leading the club across competitions with thirteen strikes and seven in the league, but goals are shared around the squad—Benjamin Nygren and others contribute—so Celtic are not solely dependent on a single scorer.

Celtic tend to start fast: six of their first-match goals arrive inside the opening ten minutes, giving them an early initiative in many fixtures, while conceded first-goals are more evenly spread through the match and do not cluster in one late period.

Using thirty-four players already points to heavy rotation; with the most-used starter on twelve league starts there is a clear core but frequent changes, which suggests depth is being tested and managed across competitions.
