Celtic Thrills and Spills: A Night of Goals and Charity!

Celtic FC is embracing their heritage with a thrilling comeback against RB Leipzig! Discover how they're scoring off the pitch too—join their 137th anniversary celebration!

As Celtic FC gears up for a memorable season, they are not just focused on winning on the pitch but are also keen on honouring their charitable heritage. With the club's 137th anniversary approaching, the Celtic FC Foundation is proud to promote their Founding Fathers' Fast, which encourages fans and members of the community to participate in acts of generosity and support for those in need. This event coincides with their annual Christmas Appeal, demonstrating that Celtic's heart lies as much in charity as it does in football.

On the field, Celtic recently put on a spectacular show against RB Leipzig, securing a 3-1 victory in a Champions League match that lit up Parkhead. Nicolas Kühn emerged as the star of the night, scoring a remarkable double that sent the fans into a frenzy. Manager Brendan Rodgers spoke before the match, urging the loyal Celtic supporters to steer clear of pyrotechnics to maintain the safety and enjoyment of all. The performance not only strengthened Celtic’s hope of progressing in the tournament but also showcased their determination to thrive amidst high stakes.

This win marks a significant achievement for Celtic, as they strive to become the first team since 2007 to claim three consecutive home victories in the Champions League. RB Leipzig, however, came into the match desperate for points to escape a precarious position in the tournament. The thrilling atmosphere at Celtic Park was filled with emotions, as fans rallied behind their team, creating an electric backdrop for the evening.

Following their latest success, Celtic will look to consolidate their position and build momentum as they head into the knockout stages of the Champions League. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Celtic family, not just for the football but for the club's commitment to making a difference in the community they're deeply rooted in.

Also, in the Champions League, Celtic holds the record for the most points gained in a single group stage, amassing a whopping 18 points in the 2017-18 season!
