Their squad is valued at around £147m by Transfermarkt, a level that reflects a stable top-flight side rather than a bloated one. Their campaign has also taken in the Copa del Rey first round and the Europa League league phase.
Recent form has been mixed: a 3-0 defeat at Rayo Vallecano followed draws with Real Betis and Elche, a 2-1 win over Alaves, and a sharp 5-0 home win against Racing Santander. Balaídos has been more productive than the road, with Celta averaging 1.5 goals scored and one conceded at home, while their away output sits at just 0.2 goals per match.
Javi Rodríguez leads their scoring with three goals, with Ferrán Jutglà and Pablo Durán on two each. For Celtic supporters, Celta profile as a technically capable Spanish opponent with respectable resources, uneven form, and a clear dependence on home rhythm.
