Celtic Football Club is a Scottish football team based in Glasgow, who currently plays in the Scottish Premier League. Celtic is champions of Scotland, having completed a hat-trick of titles on 22 May 2008, the final day of the 2007-08 seasons. Celtic Football Club was founded in 1888 and since their inception they have developed into one of the top clubs competing in the Scottish League. Celtic form one half of the Scottish Premier League’s “Old Firm” along with bitter city rivals Rangers FC. This rivalry has existed throughout the ages and is well known as being one of the longest and deep rooted rivalries in football with Celtic being a predominantly Catholic club and Rangers a predominantly protestant club.

As well to domestic honors Celtic has also impressed on the European stage and in 1967 they became the first British team to win the European Champion’s Cup. The year 1967 in fact became a watershed year for Celtic as along with the European Champion’s Cup they lifted the Scottish League title, the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup and the Glasgow Cup.

Celtic are the only club ever to win the trophy with a team composed entirely of home-grown talent.; as all of the players in the side were Scottish, and all were born within a 30-mile radius of Celtic Park and they are the only club in history to win a Continental Quadruple. 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 F.C. Porto after extra time. Over 80,000 Celtic supporters travelled to Seville for the final.
