Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Old Firm Rivalry — Celtic Domestic League Titles=54+ should be 54 (as of the end of the 2023-24 season, Celtic have 54 league titles; the '+' is ambiguous and not a precise factual count)

Old Firm Rivalry — Current Title Record Streak=9 consecutive (2016-2020) is incorrect; Celtic won 9 consecutive league titles from 2011-12 to 2019-20 inclusive, not 2016-2020

Green and White Hoops — The DID YOU KNOW section states 'Celtic is one of only two clubs in the world, alongside Inter Milan, to have used vertical hoops as their primary home kit since the early 20th century.' This is factually incorrect; other clubs such as Sporting CP and FC Basel

Celtic Park Stadium — The entry describes Celtic Park as a GAA stadium in Derry, Northern Ireland, but Celtic FC's stadium is Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic Park Stadium — The capacity of about 18,000 is incorrect for Celtic FC's Celtic Park, which has a capacity of over 60,000.

Celtic FC Identity — The claim that Celtic has 122 major honours as of May 2026 is speculative and not established canon; the commonly cited figure is around 119–120 as of 2024.

Celtic FC Identity — The claim that the kit has remained entirely unchanged since 1903 is false; there have been variations in shade, trim, and shorts/socks colors.

Lisbon Lions Era — The final did not end 2-1 in extra time; it ended 2-1 after 90 minutes, with goals by Gemmell (63'), Mazzola (84'), and Chalmers (85').

Parkhead Ground — The entry states the largest crowd in Scottish football history gathered on New Year's Day 1938 at Celtic Park, but the actual largest crowd in Scottish football history was 149,547 at Hampden Park for the 1937 Scotland v England match.
