Based in Glasgow, the first members ofCeltic Football Club founded the Scottish Football League in 1890, the Scottish Premier League in 1998 and the Scottish Professional Football League in 2013. Billy McNeil holds the record of 822 appearances from 1957 to 1975, and Jimmy McCrory scored the most goals, with a record of 522. Some great matches have been played by this team, let’s take a look at few of them.

Celtic F.C’s first victory came on 28th of May 1888, when they played their initial match as a friendly encounter. Played against the Rangers, the match ended in a score of 5-2, and the first goal scorer of the team was Neil McCallum. In 1892, the team reached the Scottish Cup Final and won with a score of 5-1 by defeating Queen’s Park. The following season, they also won the Scottish League Championship for the first time. In 1895, they set the record of highest home score by beating the Dundee to a score of 11-0. This was one of the most beautiful matches enjoyed by Celtic F.C’s fans. Dundee F.C was short of three players as they were injured. However, when the match was played with 11 players on both teams, the Celtics still managed to score 5 goals. After the half-time, Dundee was crushed when the Celtic kept scoring goals one after the other, to end with 11- 0.

In September 2016, history was made again when the team played against the Rangers. Moussa Dembele became the first player to score 3 goals against the rangers, since 1973. Also, in November 2016, Celtic F.C won the Scottish League Cup against Aberdeen with a score of 3-0. The scorers were Tom Rogic, James Forrest and Moussa Dembele, which made the fans cheer. That match made the team win their 100th major trophy, which only added to their club’s reputation. Then on the 31st December 2016, Celtic won against Ross County to 2-0 in the Scottish Premiership… and that was the match which lead their season to no defeats at home. Until now, the team’s proud achievements are one European Cup, 36 Scottish Cups, 16 League Cups and 47 Scottish League Championships.
