Celtic FC is a Scottish football club based in Glasgow and one of the most storied clubs in world football. Founded in 1887 in the city's East End, Celtic plays its home matches at Celtic Park, known as Paradise, one of the largest stadiums in Britain, before crowds among the most passionate in the sport. The club has won a huge number of Scottish league titles and, in 1967, became the first British side to win the European Cup — the celebrated Lisbon Lions, a team drawn entirely from the Glasgow area. Celtic's rivalry with Rangers, the Old Firm, is one of the fiercest and most historic derbies anywhere in football, carrying deep cultural significance in Scotland. A regular in the UEFA Champions League, Celtic has repeatedly sold academy graduates and imports at greatly increased valuations, several to major English and continental sides, using that income to sustain its grip on the Scottish game. Season-long, Celtic's live scores, results and fixtures are widely followed.
