Iako je klub zvanično osnovan 1887., svoj prvi meč je odigrao tek 1888. godine.

Prvobitni stadion kluba je izgrađen 1888. godine i na njemu su igrali utakmice sve do 1892. godine, kada je vlasnik posjeda povećao godišnji najam sa £50 na £450.<ref name=FIFA>[https://www.fifa.com/news/y=2008/m=7/news=celtic-spirit-shines-823367.html Celtic spirit shines on] FIFA, 8 July 2008</ref> Novi stadion, također [[Celtic Park]], na kojem i dan danas Celtic igra svoje utakmice, izgrađen je samo 180 metara od starog stadiona.

U 90tim godinama prošlog stoljeća klub upada u finansijsku krizu, što se odrazilo i na rezultate kluba. 3. marta 1994. godine [[Banka Škotske]] (''Bank of Scotland)'' je obavjestila klub da su pred bankrotom obzirom na dug od £5 miliona.<ref name="newmt">{{cite web |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/new-celtic-team-takes-over-three-directors-ousted-as-17-8m-rescue-package-pledged-the-new-team-takes-over-with-a-promise-1.717089 |title=New Celtic team takes over.

25. maja 1967., na nacionalnom stadionu u Lisabonu odigralo se finale Kupa evropskih šampiona. Protivnik Celtica bio je tada vrlo jaki [[Inter Milan|Inter]] iz [[Milano|Milana]], koji je već imao dvije uzastopne titule pravaka evrope. To je ujedno bio i sukob različitih stilova. Na jednoj strani se nalazio [[Helenio Herrera]] koji je preferirao popularni ''katanaćo'', a s druge strane Jock Stein čiji je pristup bio je dijametralno suprotan. Celtic je bila napadačka momčad, a pred samo finale, Stein je izjavio da će "''napadati kao što nikad prije nisu napadali, te da će igrati kao da ne postoji sutra"''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/Jock+Stein+-+Quotes |title=Jock Stein - Quotes |publisher=The Celtic Wiki |accessdate=4 December 2018 }}</ref> Navijači Intera nisu mogli zamisliti bolji start utakmice jer su poveli već u 7. minuti. Gol sa penala postigao je Sandro Mazzola. Odmah nakon vodećeg gola, Inter se povukao u svoju poznatu obranu sa svih 11 igrača, a do kraja utakmice su uputili samo dva udarca u okvir gola. S druge strane, Celtic je uputio čak 39 udaraca prema golu Intera. Iako je italijanski golman Sarti dobro branio, u 63. minuti Tommy Gemmella šutira sa 20 metara i postiže gol za 1-1. Nastavio je Celtic s napadima a samo pet minuta prije kraja utakmice, dalekometni udarac Bobby Murdocha u mrežu je skrenuo Steve Chalmers i postavio konačnih 2-1 za Celtic. Celtic je tako postao prvi britanski tim koji je osvojio Kup evropskih šampiona. '''Lisabosnke lavove''' činili su lokalni igrači, obzirom da su svi bili rođeni u krugu 15 kilometara od Celtic Parka.
