Celtic were founded on 6 November 1887 and still draw their force from Celtic Park, the fixed point around which the club’s modern dominance has been built. The latest Premiership title, won in 2025/2026, followed league wins in 2024/2025, 2023/2024 and 2022/2023, with the 2024/2025 League Cup sitting in the same recent sequence. In the records supplied here, Celtic stand on 17 Premiership titles, with eight Scottish Cups and eight League Cups alongside them.

The 2026/2027 season has Celtic back in familiar territory, top of the Premiership with 31 points after 13 rounds. The campaign has also taken in a League Cup quarter-final, Champions League qualifying play-offs and the Europa League league phase, giving the squad the usual blend of domestic expectation and European strain.

The numbers are broadly those of a side setting the pace. At Celtic Park they are averaging 2.3 goals scored and 0.7 conceded per match; away from home, the figures sit at two scored and 0.8 conceded. That points to a team with enough control to keep matches tilted in its favour, even if recent results – a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock following defeat at Falkirk and a draw with Dundee United – show the margins are not always decorative.

Camilo Durán has been the main scorer with 13 goals, supported by Benjamin Nygren on eight, while Mika Baur, Kasper Høgh and Callum Osmand have each added three. Celtic have also started sharply often enough to matter, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in nine of 18 league matches.

The squad is listed at 34 players with an average age of 25, and is valued at around £112m by Transfermarkt. In short, Celtic remain the benchmark in Scotland at this point of the season: first in the Premiership, strong at home, productive away, and carrying the usual weight of expectation.

In recent matches, Celtic have recorded three wins, one draw and two losses.

The recent sequence is a study in contrast: Celtic can explode for emphatic victories — highlighted by the 7-1 demolition of Hearts and a gutsy 3-2 win over Besiktas — yet they have also dropped unexpected defeats, most notably the 2-0 reverse at Falkirk and the 1-2 loss to Celta Vigo, which underlines a tendency to produce high peaks but still suffer isolated lapses.

📈 League position analysis

After 13 games, Celtic are top of the league.

Celtic sit atop the table after thirteen rounds and have been consistently first through the last six rounds, a sign of sustained control rather than late surges or sudden dips; that stability gives them the psychological edge heading into the middle third of the season.

📊 League form

Track the performance of Celtic in Scotland's Premiership over their last six matches, home and away.

The home/away split shows two distinct strengths: at home Celtic remain expansive and capable of blowing sides away, though they have been breached by Rangers, while away they have been unusually efficient and road-hardy, stringing several wins including a big 5-1 at Kilmarnock which underlines that the side travels well and does not rely solely on home advantage.

💪 Strengths and weaknesses

How well-rounded are Celtic across key performance areas this season?

Celtic
Aberdeen

The radar paints a team built on dual excellence: elite goal creation and defensive compactness pair with a prolific set-piece and corner profile, making Celtic effective across phases; relative weaknesses are subtle — they are not the single best at home scoring or home defence (those edges lie with Hearts and Rangers respectively) and the squad shows a slight reliance on its principal scorers, which opponents can target.

Celtic combine the league's most potent attack with the stingiest defence, which means their matches are controlled both in chance creation and in limiting opponents; they outpace rivals such as Hearts in scoring and keep closer to Rangers when it comes to defensive tightness, leaving teams like St Mirren and Kilmarnock well adrift in both departments.

Discipline is broadly controlled: yellow cards tick up marginally on the road, but the absence of any red cards shows the team manages aggression without overstepping, which helps preserve continuity over busy fixture runs.

🫣 Biggest defeat

The ceiling is clear in the 7-1 home rout and 5-1 away thumping, demonstrating the squad's ability to dominate weaker or out-of-form opponents; by contrast the heaviest defeats are narrow (1-0 and 2-0), which suggests the floor is modest rather than catastrophic and that losses tend to be tight rather than routs.

Celtic win a high volume of corners, particularly at home, and concede relatively few, a combination that not only sustains attacking pressure but also produces set-piece opportunities which the team converts into the high scoring returns seen across the league.

Scoring responsibility is tilted towards a couple of players: Camilo Durán leads the way and, together with Benjamin Nygren, accounts for around half of Celtic's league goals, which gives the team a reliable focal point but also a measurable concentration of threat rather than an entirely collective scoring spread.

Celtic are fast starters — the team has scored its first goal most often inside the opening ten minutes — while instances of conceding are more dispersed, with small clusters immediately after the interval as well as in the opening ten, suggesting concentration is required both at kick-off and at restart phases.

Using thirty-four players so far points to heavy rotation driven by domestic and European commitments, but there is still a core nucleus — exemplified by the most-used starter — and the goalsheet shows a concentration where a couple of individuals supply a large share of the club's league strikes, a pattern that balances depth with dependence on key contributors.
