Emerging from the shadows of 1887, Celtic Football Club took to the pitch for the first time on 6 November. To this day, they grace the hallowed turf of Celtic Park, a stalwart of Scottish football history, preserved through the ages.
The current Celtic squad, as reported by Transfermarkt, commands a not insignificant market value of around £105m. A figure that would have made the founding fathers' eyes pop from their heads, you could wager.
Prancing around in the green and white, the current ensemble of 32 players sports an average age just a midge under 26 years old. You might say that injects a useful blend of youthful exuberance and seasoned experience into the group.
What's more, they've been testing their mettle across five different competitions so far this season. Occupying the runner's up position in the Premiership as things stand, they've got their mitts on a place in the League Cup final. Meanwhile, their Scottish Cup campaign only extended as far as the fourth round. Their other forays have seen them take part in play-offs for the Champions League Qualifiers, as well as making a stint in the League Phase of the Europa League.
