Celtic football club formally constituted in calton, glasgow

November 6th , 1887

The Celtic Football Club was formally constituted in Calton, Glasgow, with the primary goal of alleviating poverty in the East End parishes of Glasgow.

The club was founded on November 06, 1887. Brother Walfrid, a Marist Brother, played a key role in the establishment of the club.

The formation of Celtic FC was closely tied to charitable and philanthropic intentions. The club aimed to raise funds to support the local community, particularly the impoverished Catholic immigrant population in the East End of Glasgow. The club’s first official match was played in May 1888, and it quickly gained popularity.

Over the years, Celtic FC evolved into one of the most successful and iconic football clubs in Scotland and beyond. The club’s rich history, traditions, and passionate fanbase continue to be an integral part of Scottish football and culture.
