About

The Celtic Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the east end of 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 have won the Scottish crown on 42 occasions and the Scottish Cup 34 times (a record), and have won the European Cup in 1967. Celtic's home stadium is Celtic Park (commonly referred to as Parkhead after the area of Glasgow in which it is situated) 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, one of the most famous and fierce rivalries in sport. The club's traditional playing colours are green and white hooped shirts with white shorts and white socks.

Sectarianism

Celtic have a historic association with the people of Ireland and Scots of Irish extraction, who are both predominantly Catholic. However, Celtic has never promoted itself as a club for Catholics only. Throughout its history Celtic has prided itself as being a club for everyone. Fans of rivals Rangers FC tended to come from Scottish Protestant backgrounds and were supporters of British Unionism. As a result both clubs became linked to the opposing factions in the political difficulties of Northern Ireland, which intensified the rivalry in Scotland.
