AC Milan, founded in 1899, remain one of the more familiar names on the European circuit for Celtic supporters. They play at the Stadio San Siro and sit fifth in Serie A during the 2026-27 season, with a squad valued at around £475.5m by Transfermarkt.
Their squad is large and young: 41 players, with an average age of 23. That profile shows in a side carrying plenty of attacking threat, particularly at home, where Milan are averaging 2.6 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per match. Away from home they have still been productive, scoring 1.6 per game while conceding one on average.
Alphadjo Cissè has led their scoring with seven goals, followed by Adrien Rabiot on five and Diego Moreira on four. Milan have also tended to start sharply, scoring inside the opening 20 minutes in five of their 15 league matches.
Their recent league run has been mixed but useful enough, including a 3-1 win over Inter Milan, victories against Udinese, Atalanta and Lecce, a draw at Sassuolo and a 4-2 home defeat to Bologna. Their season has also included the Coppa Italia third round and the Europa League league phase.
For Celtic, Milan’s current standing is clear: a high-value Serie A side with a young squad, strong home output and enough attacking depth to punish loose work quickly.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Compared with Celtic, AC Milan offer a more pronounced home attacking threat but less consistency in results and defensive solidity; Celtic hold the edge in the table and in steady form, while Milan's San Siro firepower and squad rotation present a different challenge that favours high-tempo home games rather than sustained season-long consistency.
