Celtic were founded in 1888 by Brother Walfred, an Irish Monk who came to Scotland to give the Irish men in Scotland something they could be a part of and be proud of it. Brother Walfred was inspired by Edinburgh Hibernian and decided to create his own football team. Celtic were going to be called Glasgow Hibernian but it was soon settled that it would become Glasgow Celtic Football Club.
