The club’s official nickname is the Bhoys and their official name is The Celtic Football Club although it is sometimes called Glasgow Celtic (or Celtic Glasgow), mostly by foreign commentators. Until 1994, when it went public, the club was The Celtic Football & Athletic Company Ltd.

Celtic plays their home games at Celtic Park. It is at this time the second largest club stadium in the United Kingdom and was until the expansion of Old Trafford in recent years the largest in the UK.

During the 2005-06 season, Celtic Park attracted an average attendance of 58,149. This made Celtic second only to Manchester United in average attendance for any British football club.

Along with their rivals, Rangers F.C., they shape the Old Firm which is one of the most well-known and fiercest rivalries in sports. The club has habitually been attached to the Catholic community of Glasgow and has strong support from the Catholic population of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

 Bodog.com has Celtic FC at 110 to 1 to win the UEFA Champions League

Celtic turned into the first Northern European team to win the European Cup, which had formerly been dominated by Italian, Portuguese and Spanish clubs in 1967. Celtic owned every competition that they played in that spell by winning the Scottish League, Scottish FA Cup, Scottish League Cup, European Cup and the Glasgow Cup.

In addition, Celtic remains the only Scottish club to have gotten to the final, and is the only club to have ever won the crown with a team made up completely of home grown talent; all of the players on the team were Scotsmen and all were born within a close to Celtic Park in Glasgow. Celtic again reached the European Cup final in 1970, only to be beaten by Feyenoord in extra periods.

In 2003 Martin O'Neill led the team to the UEFA Cup final in Seville where they lost 3-2 to F.C. Porto after extra time. Close to 80,000 Celtic supporters traveled to Seville for that final.

Celtic retained a player named Aiden McGeady. McGeady was depicted by former Celtic FC manager Martin O'Neill as having "enormous potential", Aiden is an attack oriented midfielder who can feature on either wing or just behind the strikers.

He is a result of the Parkhead youth system and has benefited from a brilliant rise to the first team. He was man of the match at age 18 on his full debut against Heart of Midlothian FC in April 2004 when he scored in a 1-1 draw and later went on to make three more appearances that sealed the deal.

Aiden finished that season by agreeing to a contract until 2008. He has been Nicknamed "Aideninho" by the Celtic fans for his dribbling skills. McGeady turned in a excellent performance against AC Milan during a UEFA Champions League match at Celtic Park at the end of 2004. This prompted on field applause from Alessandro Nesta.

McGeady made his 50th league appearance for Celtic in the 2005/06 title winning campaign, in spite of a knee ligament injury that kept him on the sidelines for two and a half months.

Although he was born in Glasgow, McGeady pledged his allegiance to the Republic of Ireland, making his full international debut in the 1-0 win against Jamaica on 2 June 2004.
