Planted in the hearty soil of Scotland in 1887 (6 November to be precise), Celtic FC has firmly taken root in their home ground of Celtic Park. A distinguished sanctuary, a revered battleground for the brave Bhoys.
The value of the club is rather a tricky gist, but let's not lean on the folk tales of blokes down the pub. According to Transfermarkt, a reliable source of such information, you'll find the accumulated market value of the whack of Celtic players to be approximately £114m.
The salt and pepper of Celtic's recipe lie in their player line up. A smattering of 38 lads of diverse skillsets and varied maturity but an average age of 25 strengthens the club's halfpenny's worth.
In the current season's toil, those wearing the Celtic jersey have, so far, had their metal tested in five guises of competition. They've been nipping at the leader's heels in Premiership, managing to clinch the 2nd spot; couples steps away from the spotlight in the League Cup as they found themselves in the Final; They've navigated their way to the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup; In both, the Champions League Qualifiers (reaching as far as the Play-Offs) and the Europa League (right into the thick of the League Phase), they have shown promise. Yet, the season remains young, with many a battle left to fight.
