Celtic F.C.

Celtic Football Club, commonly referred to simply as Celtic (pronounced 'seltic') or 'the Bhoys' (pronounced 'b-hoys'), are one of the world's most famous football clubs. Based in the Scottish city of Glasgow, the club is officially nicknamed the Bhoys, or unofficially the Hoops.

Whilst often a result of obvious misfortune, the instances where Celtic appear to have been denied crucial victories or opportunities to advance in local and international competition are well documented.

• in 1996 prolific goal-scorer Jorge Cadete's SFA registration papers were deliberately held back by SFA chairman Jim Farry, resulting in a sequence of below-par results for the team during the period when Cadete was ineligible to play. Rangers went on to win a league and cup double, with Celtic losing only one match all season. Farry was later found guilty of misconduct and was sacked by the SFA. Celtic received just £50,000 in compensation.
