Celtic FC vs Borussia Dortmund Tickets

Celtic FC and Borussia Dortmund, two renowned European football clubs, are gearing up for an exciting clash at Celtic Park.

Founded in 1887, Celtic FC stands as a Scottish football powerhouse. The club's domestic dominance is well-documented, winning the Scottish Premiership on more than 50 occasions. Celtic's impressive legacy extends beyond Scotland, famously winning the European Cup in 1967 after triumphing over Inter Milan in the final.

While Celtic has regularly participated in the UEFA Champions League in recent years, progressing deep into the tournament has proved difficult. Their best recent campaign was in the 2012/13 season when they famously defeated FC Barcelona 2-1 in the group stage, eventually losing to Juventus in the last 16.

Hailing from Germany's Ruhr region, Borussia Dortmund is one of a handful of European clubs that can match Celtic’s passionate home crowd. Established in 1909, the club has a rich history and has tasted domestic success, clinching multiple Bundesliga titles. Like Celtic, Dortmund have also made their presence felt on the European stage, winning the UEFA Champions League in 1996/97.

Dortmund boasts passionate fans and a tradition of attacking football. While they've consistently featured in the Champions League, their best performance in recent years also came in the 2012/13 season. They reached the final, only to be defeated by Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.
