Celtic FC are the most famous football club in Scotland with the largest following and the biggest football stadium in the country with a 60,800 capacity. They are Scotland's wealthiest football club and the first British team to win the European Cup. The club has always been a non-sectarian institution who are open to all.
Many Celtic supporters are of Irish Catholic origin and the club itself was formed in 1888 to provide funds for Irish immigrants in the late 19th century. This is why the team's colours are green and white.
Celtic fans have an excellent reputation throughout the world for good sporting behavior and were awarded the FIFA and UEFA Fair Play Awards in 2003 for their excellent conduct at the UEFA Cup Final in Seville.
Celtic form one half of the "Old Firm", the other half being Glasgow Rangers (a club which excluded all Catholics for 116 years before being threatened with expulsion from European competition if they did not end their sectarian signing policy).

"Oh Hampden in the sun, Celtic 7 Rangers 1" is a line from a song celebrating the most famous Old Firm derby match ever played. The 1957 League Cup final in which Celtic destroyed their rivals 7-1. It remains the greatest margin of victory in an official Old Firm derby and is the record margin of victory for a British cup final.

Brilliant Glasgow football team(soccer for all you yanks) supported mostly by irish based and catholic glasweigans. The fans tend to be more friendly than the hun bastards(Rangers fans) who'd knife you for wearing green underwear.
And it's Celtic 6 Rangers 2!!!!!!!!!

Celtic are quite simply the best supported football club in the world. A Scottish based football team founded by Irish Marist Brothers to raise money to feed the poor immigrants who fled Ireland in the 1800's from starvation and poverty.
Relations with rivals Glasgow Rangers became frosty after an influx of bigoted shipyard workers from Belfast identified with the blue half of glasgow and spread sectarian filth through the west of Scotland, up to and including sectarian employment policies.
Polar opposite to Glasgow Rangers. Celtic fans were awarded with FIFA and UEFA awards, while nazi saluting Rangers fans (who masquerade as Englishmen)are awarded with UEFA charges.

Celtic were the first team from the british isles to win the european cup.
Invited as guests to play in a record number of testimonial/charity matches.
Hold the record for the largest travelling support, 80,000.
Symbiotic with nieghbours Rangers but despite paramilitary chanting and psuedo sectarian songs, they are 9 years ahead in combatting the problem of bigotry. Rangers had denied there was a problem in the first place.

a supposed Scottish football team who delight in everything from Erin's green isle. The fans are pro Irish Nationalism, anti British, yet they are British when it suits them. (Celtic being the first British team to win the European Cup).
Their fans are also British when they go every fortnight to pick up their dole check. Have sympathies for every country/ military junta/ terrorist organisation, that have even remotely stood up to Britain or the British.
Strange people
