context_page_description: Celtic Football Club has always competed in the highest level of football in Scotland, currently the Scottish Premiership. The club was constituted in 1887, and played its first game in 1888. Celtic play home games at Celtic Park, having moved there from their original ground in 1892. The club quickly established itself as a dominant force in Scottish football, winning six successive league titles during the first decade of the 20th century. A fierce rivalry developed with Rangers, and the two clubs became known as the Old Firm.
  Under manager Jock Stein, in 1967 Celtic became the first British team to win the European Cup, which had previously been the preserve of Italian, Portuguese and Spanish clubs. Celtic is one of only two clubs to have won the trophy with a team composed entirely of players from the club's home country; all of the players in the side were born within 30 miles of Celtic Park in Glasgow.
  Celtic won nine successive league titles from 1966–1974, then a world record. The club continued to enjoy domestic success throughout the 70s and 80s, despite the rise of the so-called New Firm of Aberdeen and Dundee United.
context_section_description: Jock Stein succeeded McGrory in 1965. A former player and team captain, Stein gained most of his fame as Celtic's manager, and is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest football managers in the history of the game. Stein is also famous for guiding Celtic to nine straight Scottish League wins from 1966 to 1974, equalling a world record held at the time by MTK Budapest and CSKA Sofia.
  Jock Stein was formally announced as the new manager on 31 January 1965, although he did not take up his duties until March to allow Hibernian, who he was managing, time to find his replacement.  Jimmy McGrory became the club's Public Relations Officer, a post he would retain until his retirement.  Sean Fallon became Assistant Manager.
  On Stein's arrival in March 1965, Celtic were struggling in the league and continued to have mixed results; Stein winning his first game 6–0 at Airdrie, but then losing 4–2 to Hibs and 6–2 to Falkirk. Celtic had progressed to the semi-finals of the 1964–65 Scottish Cup prior to Stein's arrival in March. Celtic came from behind twice against Motherwell in the semi-final to force 2–2 draw, then won the replay 3–0. This set up a final against Dunfermline on 24 April 1965. Celtic again came from behind twice before Billy McNeill scored the winning goal in the final minute to clinch a 3–2 win, giving Celtic their first trophy since 1957.
  In August 1965, Celtic became the first British football club to produce its own newspaper, The Celtic View.  The paper started as a four-page weekly publication and was the brainchild of Jack McGinn who was working in the circulation department of Beaverbrook Newspapers.  McGinn himself edited the paper for the first few years, with circulation initially reaching around 26,000 copies.
  Season 1965–66 was Stein's first full season as manager at Celtic.  He won his second trophy on 23 October 1965 as two converted penalty-kicks by John Hughes saw Celtic beat Rangers 2–1 in the League Cup final.  Celtic clinched their first league title since 1954 on 7 May 1966 with a 1–0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park, finishing two points ahead of Rangers.  As a sign of the progress under Stein, Celtic scored 30 more league goals in 1965–66 than they had done the previous year.  Celtic also impressed in European competition, reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup Winner's Cup by knocking out Go Ahead Deventer, AGF Aarhus and Dynamo Kiev.  Celtic lost 1–2 on aggregate to Liverpool in the semi-final, although a last minute Bobby Lennox 'goal' was controversially disallowed in the second leg at Anfield which would have seen Celtic win the tie via the recently implemented 'away goals' rule.
  1967 was Celtic's annus mirabilis. The club won every competition they entered, scoring a world record total of 196 goals: the Scottish League, the Scottish Cup, the Scottish League Cup, the Glasgow Cup, and the European Cup.  The League Cup was the first trophy to be won that season, courtesy of a 1–0 win on 29 October 1966 over Rangers in the final.  The Glasgow Cup was secured a week later when Celtic beat Partick Thistle 4–0. Celtic's progression to the Scottish Cup was relatively straightforward aside from being taken to replay in the semi-final by Clyde. On 6 April 1967 Celtic met Aberdeen in the final, and two Willie Wallace goals eased Celtic to a 2–0 win.  Celtic's league campaign proved to be a more tightly contested affair as, despite only losing twice, with two games remaining Rangers were still in contention. Celtic's penultimate league fixture was against Rangers at Ibrox, with a draw required to clinch the title. A brace by Jimmy Johnstone gave Celtic a 2–2 draw and the championship.
  Celtic's European Cup campaign in 1966–67 was their first ever participation in Europe's premier club tournament. FC Zurich and Nantes were comfortably disposed of in the first two rounds (5–0 and 6–2 on aggregate respectively). The quarter final in March 1967 pitched Celtic against the Yugoslav champions, Vojvodina. The Yugoslav side won the first leg in Novi Sad 1–0. The return match in Glasgow proved to be a f
