Celtic has developed a fanbase in a number of countries around the world, with over 800
There are Celtic supporters clubs in South Korea,[74] Sweden[75] Croatia, Germany, Denmark and Norway[76] while the club's profile in Kenya has been boosted by a team in Nairobi, Kibera Celtic, who were inspired by Celtic's charitable roots and use the profits from football to fund charitable initiatives in Kenya and throughout Africa.[77] This fanbase extended to Japan in 2005, when Japanese international Shunsuke Nakamura joined the club,[78] although the Tokyo Celtic Supporters' Club had already been established in 2001.[79]
In 2003, it was estimated that Celtic had a fanbase of one million in the United States and Canada.
Celtic have also developed supporters clubs in Australia, South Africa, and elsewhere in the Southern Hemisphere.[82]

The club's large travelling support make Celtic a popular choice of opponent for English-based footballers to select for testimonial matches. Over 5000 Celtic supporters turned for Peter Beardsley's testimonial match at St James' Park, Newcastle, in January 1999.[89] An estimated 15,000 Celtic supporters attended at Old Trafford for the testimonials of Bryan Robson in November 1990[90] and for Ryan Giggs in August 2001.[91]
2003 UEFA Cup Final
In 2003, Celtic reached the
Old Firm rivalry
Celtic's traditional rivals are Rangers; collectively, the two clubs are known as the Old Firm. The two have dominated Scottish football's history; between them, they have won the Scottish league championship 104 times since its inception in 1890 – all other clubs combined have won 19 championships.[100]
The rivalry between the teams had various ethnic, religious and political associations, in that Celtic are associated with
"The clubs have attracted the support of opposing factions in the
There have been about 400 Old Firm matches played.[107] The games have been described as having an "atmosphere of hatred, religious tension and intimidation which continues to lead to violence in communities across Scotland."[106] The rivalry has fuelled many assaults and even deaths on Old Firm Derby days. Admissions to hospital emergency rooms have been reported to increase ninefold over normal levels[108] and journalist Franklin Foer noted that in the period from 1996 to 2003, eight deaths in Glasgow were directly linked to Old Firm matches, and hundreds of assaults.[108][109]
Occurrences of serious crowd trouble between Celtic and Rangers supporters stretches as far back as the
Both sets of fans fought an on-pitch battle in the aftermath of Celtic's 1–0 victory in the
Sectarianism
Both clubs have taken measures to reduce sectarianism.[105] In 1996 Celtic launched their Bhoys Against Bigotry campaign, later followed by Youth Against Bigotry to "educate the young on having ... respect for all aspects of the community — all races, all colours, all creeds".[117] Celtic partnered with Rangers to form the 'Old Firm Alliance' in 2005, an initiative aimed at educating children from across Glasgow about issues like healthy eating and fitness, as well as awareness of anti-social behaviour, sectarianism and racism.[118]
In March 2008, UEFA investigated Celtic fans for alleged sectarian singing at a match against
In April 2012, the general secretary of the Celtic Supporters Association said he was "genuinely sorry" after tweeting that it was a "problem" that the Protestant workers who built the Titanic "didn't sail on it".[123]
Irish republicanism
Celtic supporters have traditionally been associated with support for
In November 2011, Celtic were fined £12,700 by UEFA for pro-IRA chanting from some Celtic supporters.
In December 2013, the club were fined £42,000 by UEFA for an "incident of a non-sporting nature" in relation to a display shown by a section of the Celtic support before their Champions League group stage tie against Italian side AC Milan. The banners displayed by the Green Brigade ultras group showed portraits of Scottish hero William Wallace and Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands side by side along with the text: "The terrorist or the dreamer? The savage or the brave? Depends on whose vote you're trying to catch or whose face you're trying to save". After the disciplinary hearing, the club issued a statement in which they condemned the banners and stated that the actions of a "small minority must stop". After the incident, Celtic relocated 250 supporters from section 111 and issued temporary bans to over 100 more.[135]
The Green Brigade
The Green Brigade are a group within the Celtic support who style themselves on the ultras groups found amongst many European and South American football supporters. They were formed in 2006 and describe themselves as "a broad front of anti-fascist, anti-racist and anti-sectarian Celtic supporters".[136] The Green Brigade have organised various displays at Celtic matches involving banners, flags and demonstrations which have been credited with improving the atmosphere at Celtic Park.[137] In November 2012, the Green Brigade organised a full stadium pre-match card display against Barcelona to celebrate Celtic's 125th anniversary.[138] The display featured a Celtic cross, green and white hoops and 125 Celtic in written form, with supporters earning the praise of club chairman Peter Lawwell.[139] They have however been criticised for some of their more controversial banners, such as the poppy protest banner in 2010.[140][141]
