Players | First Team Squad | Coaching Staff | Managers
So far an estimated 51 different nationalities (by birthplace and including Scotland) have played for Celtic (depending on what you count as a country, or whether you accept those who played for several national teams!). The list below excludes Scottish players as there are too many, and also includes some who never made a first team performance. It is also incomplete so please do add anyone you spot as missing or rectify any other errors!.
Players in italics did not (or are yet to) make a competitive first team appearance.
