Celtic aren't just a football club — they're a cultural institution. Founded to support the Irish immigrant community in Glasgow's East End, the Hoops have grown into one of Europe's most passionate and globally recognised clubs. The green and white hoops are worn with pride in every corner of the world.

History

Founded in 1888 by Brother Walfrid, Celtic was created with a specific mission: to raise money for the poor Irish Catholic immigrant community in Glasgow's East End. That founding purpose shaped a club identity unlike almost any other in world football — deeply community-driven, politically aware, and fiercely proud of its Irish roots.

In 1967, Jock Stein's Lisbon Lions became the first British club to win the European Cup, doing so with a squad of players born within 30 miles of Celtic Park. Nine league titles in a row in the modern era, a fanbase stretching across Ireland, North America, and Australia — Celtic are a genuine global club with a soul that hasn't changed in over 130 years.

Kit History & Colours

Green and white hoops. One of football's most iconic looks — instantly recognisable, endlessly replicated, never matched. Celtic's hooped jersey has been worn since the late 1800s and remains one of the most beloved shirt designs in the world.

Adidas currently produce the kits and have done justice to the tradition with clean, well-constructed versions. Celtic shirts are among the most gifted, collected, and worn football jerseys globally — and for good reason.

Notable Player

Featured Player
Jimmy Johnstone
Jinky. The greatest Celtic player of all time according to the fans who voted — and given the competition, that's saying something. A winger of outrageous natural talent, Jimmy Johnstone was the heartbeat of the Lisbon Lions side that conquered Europe in 1967. Terrifying to full-backs, brilliant to watch, and completely devoted to the club. He represents everything Celtic stand for.
