Celtic F.C. The Celtic Football Club (/ˈsɛltɪk/) is a Scottish football club based in Glasgow, which plays in the Scottish Premiership. The club was established in 1887, played its first game in 1888, and has never been relegated to a lower division. Celtic have a long-standing rivalry with Rangers; the two Glasgow clubs are collectively known as the Old Firm. Celtic have won the Scottish League Championship on 45 occasions, most recently in the 2013–14 season, the Scottish Cup 36 times and the Scottish League Cup 14 times. In 1967 Celtic won an unprecedented quintuple: not only becoming the first British team[2][3] to win the European Cup but also winning the Scottish League Championship, the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup, and the Glasgow Cup.

Glasgow is regenerating and evolving at a dizzying pace – style cats beware, this city is edgy, modish and downright ballsy. Its Victorian architectural legacy is now swamped with cutting-edge style bars, world-class venues to tickle your taste buds, and a hedonistic club culture that will bring out your nocturnal instincts. Best of all, though, is Glasgow’s pounding live-music scene which is one of the best in Britain, and accessible through countless venues dedicated to homegrown beats.
The city is going through a long-term transformation, evident along the revitalised River Clyde, where visitors can explore Glasgow’s mighty maritime heritage along riverfront walkways. Museums and galleries abound and the city’s resume has been made even more impressive with the reopening of the colossal Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum – which, in typical Glaswegian fashion, strips the city of any false pretences and tells it like it is – both the inspiring and the infuriating aspects of life here.

Coordinates: Glasgow (/ˈɡlɑːzɡoʊ, ˈɡlæz-/;[4] Scots: Glesca; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu) is the largest city in Scotland, and the 4th largest in the United Kingdom, and, as of the 2011 census, the Scottish city with the highest population density with 3,395 people per square kilometre.[5] It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands.
Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians. Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become one of the largest seaports in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies.
