Celtic were founded on the sixth of November 1887 and remain rooted at Celtic Park, a club whose weight in Scottish football is measured in expectation as much as silverware.
The 2025/26 Premiership title extended a run of recent league wins that also took in 2024/25, 2023/24 and 2022/23, with the 2024/25 League Cup added to the sequence. In total, Celtic’s honours include 17 Premiership titles, eight Scottish Cups and eight League Cups.
The current squad is valued at around £112m by Transfermarkt, with 35 players and an average age of 25. That gives Celtic depth, but also the familiar pressure of turning resources into control rather than merely possession.
In the 2026/27 Premiership, Celtic sit first after 12 of 38 rounds, with 28 points. The attack has generally travelled well: they are averaging 2.5 goals at home and 2 away, while conceding 0.8 per match in both settings. They have also struck first inside 20 minutes in nine of 17 league matches.
Camilo Durán leads the scoring with 11 goals, followed by Benjamin Nygren on eight. Mika Baur and Kasper Høgh have three each, with Callum Osmand on two, giving the forward line a clear hierarchy rather than an even spread.
Recent league form has been uneven: a 2-0 defeat at Falkirk and a 2-2 draw with Dundee United followed wins over Hibernian, Hearts and Motherwell, with a 0-1 home defeat by Rangers also in the recent run. The wider season has included the League Cup quarter-finals, the Champions League qualifying play-offs and the Europa League league phase.
Celtic remain top of the Premiership and in control of their domestic position, but the recent results have been a reminder that the margin for drift is never generous.
