In the annals of Scottish football, Celtic Football Club has firmly footed its place. Founded on the 6th of November 1887, this Glaswegian team plays their home games at the renowned Celtic Park.
The club is not one to shy away from investing handsomely in talent either. As per information available from the reputable Transfermarkt, our beloved Celtic squad boasts a combined market value of about £110m.
It would not be remiss to mention that the team has its fair share of youthful zest as well, with an average age of 25 years across a 33-member strong squad. This blend of established professionals and greenhorns is what makes our Celts an impressively balanced side.
Turning our attention to the current season, we find the Bhoys actively competing in several tournaments with varying degrees of success. They stand at a respectable 2nd place in the Premiership, narrowly missed out on the League Cup after battling until the Semi-Finals, managed to reach the Play-Off stage in the Champions League Qualifiers and are currently holding their own in the Europa League's League Phase. Conspicuous by its absence is a mention of the Old Firm derby, likely a sidenote in a season firmly lived within varying competitions. A reflection on seasons pre-dating 2013 might drag nostalgic sighs from the supporters, but the future is where the battles lie, and indeed, where victories must be won.
