History

The owners of Celtics put over $6,000 into establishing their team which played in a baseball stadium. In July 1921, they played Third Lanark in preparation for the upcoming season. After losing its first five games, the ownership withdrew the team from the league, dissolved it, and forfeited its franchise in early December.
