Celtic FC, like Hibernian of Edinburgh that inspired its creation, was started to help the poor Irish of Glasgow in the 1880's.

A certain Brother Walfrid, the first Celtic hero, started the club, which has grown from humble roots to be a global phenonem.

Its fan base streched all around the world, not just among the Irish and Scots diaspora, but among the nations where we have played and won a name for good sport.

The derby matches with our rivals Rangers are legendry for their intensity... thankfully of later years we are moving away from the sectarian tensions known in previous seasons.

In 1967, we won Europe in Lisbon, and one of those players was a wee man known as Jinky, after whom our club is proud to call itself.
