The Celtic Football Club 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 44 occasions, most recently in the 2012–13 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 to win the European Cup but also winning the Scottish League Championship, the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup, and the Glasgow Cup. Celtic also reached the 1970 European Cup Final, and the 2003 UEFA Cup Final.
