Based in the city of Glasgow, Celtic F.C. is a Scottish football club, often nicknamed the Bhoys. Together with their arch-rivals Rangers they dominate Scottish football as the Old Firm. Their kit is green and white hooped jerseys, white shorts and white socks. They play at the 60,830 seater Celtic Park, known as 'Paradise' by Celtic fans.

Celtic was founded in 1888 by the Marist Brother Walfrid as a way to raise funds to help impoverished members of Glasgow's Irish community. Celtic was the first British side to win the European Cup. They did so in 1967, defeating Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon, Portugal. Celtic reached the European Cup Final again in 1970 but were beaten 2-1 by Feynoord in the San Siro Stadium, Milan. Celtic also won the Scottish League championship nine years in a row, from 1966 to 1974.

In 2003 they reached the UEFA Cup final but lost at the hands of an extra-time goal by Porto, marking the first use of the new silver goal rule in competition. The final score in Seville was Porto 3 - Celtic 2. At the game Celtic brought with them the biggest travelling army of fans ever seen in a European tournament. Over 75,000 Celtic fans from throughout the world travelled to the city, and their spirit earned them a Fair Play award from FIFA.

In 2004 they continued to prosper in the UEFA Cup, beating FC Barcelona 1-0 at Parkhead , on March 11th 2004, in what was to be one of their most famous victories. Two weeks later, under intense pressure they managed to hold Barcelona in the famous Camp Nou stadium to a 0-0 draw thus ensuring qualification to the quarter finals.

Famous former players include: Jimmy McGrory, Tommy Gemmell, Jock Stein, John Thomson, Paul McStay, Roy Aitken, Tommy Burns, Kenny Dalglish, Jimmy Johnstone, Pat Crerand, Billy McNeill (Caesar) and Henrik Larsson.

Jock Stein was a former team captain but gained most fame as Celtic manager and is acknowledged as one of the greatest football managers of all time. He managed Celtic to its nine straight Scottish League wins from 1966-1974 and its European Cup win in 1967, which was remarkable in that all of the players of the famous "Lisbon Lions" side were born within 25 miles of Glasgow.

The current manager, at January 2004 is the Irishman Martin O'Neill from Kilrea in County Derry.

The Celtic in the club name is pronounced 'Seltic', not 'Keltic'.
