History
Celtic played their first ever competitive match on 1 September 1888, a first round Scottish Cup tie against Shettleston, winning 5–1,[6] and eventually reaching the final where they lost to Third Lanark after a replay.[7] The team also made their debuts in the Glasgow Cup and the North-Eastern Cup that same season, reaching the semi-final of the Glasgow Cup where they lost to Queens Park,[7] and defeating Cowlairs 6–1 in the final of the North-Eastern Cup to win their first ever trophy.[1][8] The Scottish Football League was formed in 1890, and Celtic were among the founding members,[9] finishing third behind joint-winner's Rangers and Dumbarton in the competition's inaugural season.[10]
In 1891, Celtic won their second trophy when they beat Third Lanark 4–0 in the final of the Glasgow Cup.[11] The following year saw Celtic winning their first major tournament, defeating Queen's Park 5–1 in the 1892 Scottish Cup Final.[3] A first league title then followed in season 1892–93.[3] The Glasgow Cup remained a prestigious tournament for some years, but declined in importance after the Second World War following the introduction of the Scottish League Cup and European club competitions.[12] Celtic have since gone on to win the Scottish League Championship on 51 occasions, including a run of nine consecutive titles in the 1960s and 1970s, the Scottish Cup 39 times, and the Scottish League Cup 19 times.[3]
Celtic first participated in European competition during the 1962–63 season, their third place finish in the league the previous season qualifying them for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[13] They went on to reach two European Cup Winner's Cup semi-finals in 1964 and 1966,[14] before going on to become the first British club to win the European Cup in 1967, defeating Inter Milan 2–1 in the final.[15] Celtic reached the European Cup Final again in 1970, but lost to Feyenoord.[16] Their last appearance in a European final was in 2003 when they lost 3–2 to FC Porto in the UEFA Cup Final.[17] [18]
