Celta Vigo are a long-established Spanish club, founded in 1923 and based at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos. They sit eleventh in LaLiga in the 2026-27 season, with a 29-man squad averaging 26 years of age and valued at around £147m by Transfermarkt.
Their season has carried the shape of a mid-table side: competitive, organised, but not especially prolific. At home they average 1.3 goals scored and 0.9 conceded per match, while away from Vigo the scoring drops sharply to 0.2 goals per match, with 0.8 conceded.
Recent league results underline that pattern. Celta have drawn 0-0 with Levante, Real Betis and Elche in their last six league matches, lost 3-0 at Rayo Vallecano, and beaten Alaves 2-1 and Racing Santander 5-0. Javi Rodríguez and Pablo Durán lead their scoring with three goals each, with Ferrán Jutglà on two.
They have also appeared in the Copa del Rey first round and the Europa League league phase this season. For Celtic supporters, Celta profile as a technically credible LaLiga opponent: not among Spain’s elite, but settled, awkward, and capable of making matches narrow.
