Celtic Football Club, typically recognised for their storied history and decorated contributions to Scottish football, were established on the 6th of November in 1887. The spectre of their daunting fortress, better known as Celtic Park, has since been a well-established part of the Scotland's cultural landscape.
As a football writer, one keenly observes the constant evolution of a team's worth in the market. Celtic's current standing, according to Transfermarkt, is a solid £108m.
In this great game of ours, age and experience often lend potency to a squad. Celtic houses a cohort of 34 players, averaging a ripe age of 25. Young enough to have a spring in their step, yet old enough to comprehend the weight of the jersey they wear.
This season, the Bhoys have taken it upon themselves to put their nerves (and those of their supporters, no doubt) through the wringer in four separate competitions. The splendour of battling it out at the summit of the Premiership; the adrenaline-fuelled clashes of the Scottish Cup and the League Cup, both of which have seen them reach the final; and the high-stakes drama of the Champions League Knockout Play-offs.
