Calton Athletic Football Club
The Celtic Football Club is a Scottish football club based in Glasgow, which currently plays in the Scottish Premier League. Celtic are the champions of Scotland, having completed a hat-trick of titles on 22 May 2008, the final day of the 2007-08 season. Since its formation in 1888, Celtic has won the Scottish crown on 42 occasions and the Scottish Cup 34 times (a record), and is the only Scottish team, and first British team, to have won Europe's premier football competition, the European Cup, in 1967.
The full name of the club is The Celtic Football Club. Until 1994, the club's full name was The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Ltd , whilst outside Scotland they are often (incorrectly) referred to as Glasgow Celtic . Celtic play home games at Celtic Park (commonly referred to as Parkhead) which has a capacity of 60,832, making it the largest football stadium in Scotland. Together with their Glasgow rivals, Rangers, they form the Old Firm which is one of the most famous and most fierce rivalries in sport. Celtic's identity has traditionally been linked to its founding among the Irish Catholic immigrant community in Glasgow, for charitable purposes, though it has also never been exclusive to this group.
In 1967, Celtic became the first British team to win the European Cup, which had previously been the preserve of Italian, Portuguese and Spanish clubs. Managed by Jock Stein, Celtic won every competition that they entered that season: the Scottish League Championship, the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup, the European Cup and the Glasgow Cup, in doing so they became the first, and as of 2008 the only, team to win the Quadruple.
Celtic are the only club ever to win the trophy with a team composed entirely of home-grown talent, other than FC Steaua Bucureşti of Romania in 1986, as all of the players in the side were Scottish, and all were born within a 30-mile radius of Celtic Park. This team became known as the Lisbon Lions. Celtic again reached the European Cup final in 1970, only to be beaten by Feyenoord in extra time. In 2003 Martin O'Neill led the team to the UEFA Cup final in Seville where they lost 3-2 to FC Porto after extra time. Approximately 80,000 Celtic supporters travelled to Seville for the final, believed by UEFA to be the largest foreign travelling support in history at the time. Celtic fans received awards from UEFA and FIFA as a reward for their behaviour throughout the tournament.
The club's traditional playing colours are green and white hooped shirts and white shorts with white socks. Celtic have an estimated fan base of nine million, including one million in North America.
