Celtic billetter

Celtic Football Club was founded in Glasgow's East End in 1887 by Brother Walfrid, a Marist brother, to raise money for charitable work among the city's Irish immigrant community. That origin is still part of how the club describes itself.

Celtic have won 56 Scottish league titles, 43 Scottish Cups and 22 League Cups.

The defining season was 1966/67, when the team won every competition it entered: the league, the Scottish Cup, the League Cup, the Glasgow Cup and the European Cup. No other club has done it. The side that won in Lisbon became known as the Lisbon Lions, and they were the first British team to win the European Cup. Jock Stein had taken over as manager in 1965; Billy McNeill, who lifted the trophy, holds the club appearance record with 822 matches between 1957 and 1975.

Between 1966 and 1974 Celtic won nine consecutive league titles, equalling the world record at the time.

Celtic Park has been the home ground since 1892, in Parkhead on the east side of the city. It holds 60,411, which makes it the largest football stadium in Scotland, and a rail-seating section of 2,975 places sits in the Lisbon Lions Stand.
