Walfrid's ettle tae estaiblish the club as a wey fund raisin funds wis, tae the maist pairt, inspired bi the ensaumple o [[Hibernian F.C.]] that wis foondit bi immigrant Erse fowk a few year afore in [[Embra]].

On the [[28 May|28t o Mey]] [[1888]], Celtic played thair first offeicial gemme agin [[the Rangers]] an wan 5-2 in whit wis describit as a "freendly encoonter". Celtic haed 8 'Guest' players frae Hibernian playin that day.

==The Auld Firm an sectarianism==
Celtic haes aye haen a historic association wi the fowk o [[Republic o Ireland|Ireland]] an the [[Catholic Kirk]].<ref name="fanid">{{cite book |first=Richard |last=Wilson |title=Inside the Divide |url=https://archive.org/details/insidedivideonec0000wils |publisher=Canongate Books |date=2012 |page=[https://archive.org/details/insidedivideonec0000wils/page/87 87]}}"What is being asserted is two identities: Rangers and Celtic.

== Celtic an the media ==
Celtic hae aye ettelt tae engage direct wi the fans an bypass the tradeitional media ootlats as a wey o gettin mair accurate information tae the ootside warld aboot the inner warkins o the club.

Whan [[Jock Stein]] wis Celtic manager, he stairtit a trend in Breitish fitba that becam kent as the "tracksuit manager", whaur he traint in public wi the playin staff an hostit media/press conferences.

In 1965 Celtic publisht the ''[[The Celtic View]]'', the Unitit Kinrick's first e'er fitba club newspaper.

In 2004 Celtic lencht its ain deigital TV chainel [[Celtic TV]] available in the Unitit Kinrick throu [[Setanta Sports]] on satellite an cable. Syne 2002 Celtic's internet TV chainel, [[Channel67]] (kent afore as Celtic Replay), haes braidcast Celtic's ain content oot ower the hale warld, fends live gemme coverage tae subscribers ootwi the Unitit Kinrick, an nou haes 3 online chainels.

==Newlin saisons==
===2003-2004===
Efter a draw in the openin gemme o the saison, Celtic rack up a recort-settin 25-gemme winnin run, nou a Breitish recort in tap-level fitba, giein Celtic a halthy lead in the teetle race. Celtic didna loss a gemme till efter the club's 39t championship wis won.

The 2003-2004 saison saw Celtic rack up fower league wins ower the Reengers an aw, an ane in the Scots Cup - the first time in aither club's history whan a five-match "whitewash" haed been won at.

Club hero [[Henrik Larsson]] played his feinal professional gemme for Celtic in the 2004 Scots Cup Final win ower Dunfermline, scorin twa goals, wi Bulgarian Stilian Petrov's goal follaein Larsson's goals tae owerturn an early setback, an haundin Celtic thair seiconi dooble unner [[Martin O'Neill]].

Larsson is nou widely thocht tae be ane o the club's greatest e'er players, an ranks amang the tap three goalscorers in the club's history.

===2004-2005===
Follaein a close race for the SPL title, wi the Rangers follaewin close, the club raxed thair lead at the tap o the SPL table tae twa pynts as thay lined up for the feinal gemme o the saison, wi a win at [[Motherwell F.C.]] needit for tae win the title. Wi twa meenit left on the clock, Celtic wis winnin 1 &ndash; 0 &mdash; a result wthat wad hae haundit thaim the league.

Houe'er, Motherwell's [[Scott McDonald]] nettit twa feenal-meenit goals giein the Fir Pairk side a wanchancy veectory. Rangers defeatit [[Hibernian F.C.]] 1 &ndash; 0 at Easter Road, winnin the league championship title forby. Earlier in the saison Celtic recordit a recort sievent straucht win ower ceity rivals the Rangers.

Celtic ended the saison ae week efter wi an 1&ndash;0 win ower [[Dundee United F.C.]] in the [[Scots Cup]] Feinal, that wis merkit bi fans as Martin O'Neill's feinal gemme as manager.

On [[25 May]], [[2005]], O'Neill annoonced he wad staund doun as manager o Celtic at the end o the 2004/05 saison alang wi first team coach Steve Walford an asseistant manager [[John Neilson Robertson|John Robertson]]. It wis widely reportit that O'Neill decidit tae tak time oot o fitba for tae tak care o his seek wife Geraldine, wha is ill wi [[lymphoma]].

Martin O'Neill is nou seen as as Celtic's maist successfu manager syne [[Jock Stein]], third greatest efter Stein an Willie Maley an is creditit wi helpin tae restore some pride in Celtic's abeelity tae compete on the European stage.

===2005-2006===
Umwhile [[Aberdeen F.C.]] player an Scotland internaitional [[Gordon Strachan]] frae Embra teuk chairge o the club on the [[1 Juin|1st o Juin]] [[2005]], on an ae year rowin contract, seemilar tae O'Neill's deal wi the club; his contract effectively extendin for ae year frae ony current date. Garry Pendrey wis appyntit as Strachan's asseestant manager.

In his first competitive match, agin [[FC Artmedia Bratislava|Artmedia Bratislava]] on the [[27 July|27 Julie]] [[2005]], Celtic lost 5-0 in the first leg o an important [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] 2nt Roond qualifeer, sufferin thair maist muckle European defeat in the club's history an the widest mairgin o defeat syne the 1963-64 saison, whan the club lost 6-0 tae [[Kilmarnock F.C.]] at Rugby Pairk.

In Strachan's first domestic match o the 2005-2006 SPL saison, Celtic threw awa a 3-1 hauf-time lead ower [[Motherwell F.C.]] at Fir Pairk on [[30 July]] [[2005]], the gemme endin in a 4-4 draw efter Celtic managed tae equalise throu a goal bi [[Craig Beattie]].

The nine goals agin Celtic in Strachan's first twa competitive gemmes is the maist muckle goal tally scored agin the club in successive gemmes for 14 year.

In the return leg o the Champions League 2nt Roond qualifeer agin Artmedia at Celtic Park, Strachan's vastly improved side won 4-0 but wis knockit oot frae European competeition 5-4 on aggregait.

Houe'er, follaein thir setbacks, an a defeat agin the Rangers in the pair's first gemme o the saison at Ibrox, Celtic recordit a series o wins, includin beatin Rangers twice, an returned tae the tap o the SPL - a vast betterment o thair form at the stairt o the saison.

Celtic knockit airch rivals Rangers oot the League cup on the [[19 November|19t o November]] [[2005]]. Celtic wis knockit oot the Scots Cup on the [[8 Januar|8t o Januar]] [[2006]] bi First Diveesion [[Clyde F.C.]]

Celtic beat Rangers again on the 12t o Februar tae mak it 17 wins frae the last 21 Auld Firm gemmes. Celtic won the [[Scottish League Cup|CIS Cup]], wi a 3-0 win ower [[Dunfermline Athletic F.C.]] on the 19t o Mairch. Thay hiv awready creatit a new scorin recort for the SPL, an 8 - 1 veectory agin Dunfermline on the 19t o Februar 2006.

On the [[5 April|5t o Apryl]] [[2006]] Celtic won thair 40t teetle thanks tae a goal frae [[John Hartson]] in a 1-0 win agin [[Heart of Midlothian|Herts]] at Celtic Pairk. The title wis Celtic's fowert title in sax year.  This feat wis won at wi sax gemmes remainin tae the end o the saison an afore the [[Scottish Premier League|SPL]] spleet. The Bhoys liftit the SPL trophy on Easter Sunday 2006 at hame tae [[Hibernian F.C.]], efter a 1-1 draw.

In April 2006, Celtic's reser an Unner-19 teams won thair championships an aw, makkin a clean soop o Scotland's league competeetions. It wis the fift consecutive league title for the reser team.
