History

The club was originally formed in 1969, with the name being inspired by Scottish club Glasgow Celtic.[1] Prior to joining the PLSQ, the club played in the Ligue de Soccer Elite Quebec, which is the top amateur division in Quebec.[2] They attempted to join the PLSQ in 2017, but did not end up joining the league at that time.[3]

In 2020, the club joined the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, fielding a team in the men's division.[4] However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the start of their debut season to be delayed,[5] although the season did eventually return August 1.[6] They played their first match on August 1 against defending champions A.S. Blainville, losing 2–0.[7]
