Honours edit

Celtic's first ever silverware was won in 1889 when they defeated Cowlairs 6–1 in the final of the North-Eastern Cup.[1] A year later they won the Glasgow Cup, before winning their first major national honour in 1892 by defeating Queen's Park 5–1 in the final of the Scottish Cup.[1] Celtic won their first league title in 1892–93.[1] In 1906–07 Celtic became the first club to win the league and cup double in Scotland,[1] a feat they have now accomplished on 12 occasions. They won their first domestic treble in 1966–67, the same season they became the first British club to win the European Cup with their 2–1 victory over Inter Milan in the final.[1] Celtic's most recent success was their win in the 2022-23 Scottish Cup. Celtic have won a total of 116 trophies.[2]

In all, Celtic have won the Scottish League Championship 53 times, the Scottish Cup a record 13 times, the Scottish League Cup 21 times and the European Cup once.

  1. ^ Newspaper reports at the time indicate that the officially returned attendance was given as 83,500, with an estimated further 10,000 supporters locked out of the ground for safety reasons. However, the ground's capacity was gauged at the time as being around 88,000 and several subsequent sources (including the club's official website) have since revised the attendance up to 92,000.
  2. ^ The home leg of Celtic's 1970 European Cup semi-final tie against Leeds United was switched from Celtic Park (which had a capacity at the time of around 80,000) to Hampden Park due to the expected high demand for tickets.
