    Hello all,

    I am new to this forum and have been a Celtic fan for many years.
    My best friends are Celtic supporters and although I am not Scottish,
    they have made me an 'honorary' bhoy.

    I was debating with them yesterday about the name of Celtic.
    They said the name is 'Glasgow Celtic Football Club' and I said could it be
    'The Celtic Football Club' and they said no.

    Im just wondering if anyone can clarify this issue of the official name?
    I put a bet with one of the bhoys here and I hope I haven't lost.....
    PS: on the official Celtic website (celticfc.co.uk) it has it as 'the celtic fc'

    Thankyou
    Shreek

    Welcome to T.C. Shreek

    TBH i'd more inclined to go along with your mates for the offical name.

    Yep, The 'official' name of the club would be 'Glasgow Celtic Football Club.' Everyone calls it Celtic, very few would call it Glasgow Celtic, although that is the offical name for us.
     
  4. it was going to be glasgow hibernian, but they thought through and changed their mind to glasgow celtic.

    PS welcome to talk celtic shreek!

    Because there are plenty of other Rangers, whereas there aren't too many Celtics.

    Hi all.

    New to the forum, first post......and it's to disagree with the replies to Shreeks question!! (gulp)

    A lifelong 'tic fan, I've also wondered about this.

    I can't find ANY reference to 'Glasgow' Celtic in any official documentation, reference books etc.The club badge states "The Celtic Football Club"

    My share certificates states formerly "The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Ltd"

    Anyone got THE definitive answer???

    Hail! Hail!

    Actually mags that's a very good point. The Celtic badge says The Celtic Football club. Hmm. I'm changing my mind. I'll go with what mags says now!!
     
  15. welcome to talkceltic mags.
     
    i think its both of them. i heard that celtic aren't actually called glasgow celtic they are just 'the celtic football club' and the huns were 'glasgow rangers football club'. on the stadium it says 'the celtic football club 1888'
