Celtic’s Record All-Time Top Scorers Including 502-Goal Machine

Add as preferred source on Google

Celtic are one of the most successful clubs in world football, at least from a domestic perspective.

The Bhoys have won well over 100 major honours and across their existence have been able to attract and develop a whole plethora of top-level players – local and international – who’ve donned the green and white hoops.

That sort of dominance, more often than not, means plenty of goals for the club down the years. Thus Celtic have a reputation for employing some of most deadliest Scottish strikers in the history of the sport leading them to glory season after season.

But who has scored the most goals for Celtic in their history? Here, 67 Hail Hail rank the top 10 highest scorers for the club all the way to their record goalscorer. All stats sourced from Fitbastats and encompasses every competition bar the Glasgow Charity Cup.

How many goals would a prime Gary Hooper score in this current Celtic side?
