Celtic Football Club is a Scottish football club based in Glasgow, which has regularly taken part in European competitions since its first appearance in the 1962–63 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Since then, the club has competed in every UEFA-organized competition, with the exception of the UEFA Super Cup and the defunct Intertoto Cup.
The club became the first British team and only Scottish team to date to win the European Cup by defeating Inter Milan in the 1967 final.
In more recent years, Celtic reached the 2003 UEFA Cup Final in Seville on 21 May 2003, which they lost 3–2 after extra time to Porto.
Scott Brown, a long-serving captain for Celtic, holds the club record for the most European appearances, playing in 127 matches. Henrik Larsson, who scored twice in the 2003 UEFA Cup Final, is the record goal scorer of the club, with 35 goals.
