Description

Stalybridge Celtic are an English semi-professional football club from Stalybridge in the Northwest of England. They traditionally play in the colours of blue and white. The club's ground is Bower Fold. They have achieved very few major trophies throughout its history, but have won several local cup and league competitions and was a Football League club for two seasons between 1921 and 1923.

The club's formation is usually given as 1909 but may have been as early as 1906 when an amateur club with the same name was formed. There were players called Storrs and Manwood who played in the 1906 and 1909 teams, and a player called Rhodes who played in the amateur's first game; a Herbert Rhodes was a significant benefactor of the 'later' Celtic.

In 2001, the club had one of the best seasons in its entire history, achieving "the historic treble" winning the Cheshire Senior Cup, the Presidents Cup and the Unibond Premier Division, thus being promoted back to the Football Conference, though they were soon relegated again. The club currently play in the Conference North. Until the end of 2006/2007 season the manager was John Reed, who had extensive experience as a manager in English non-league football, including three successful seasons as manager of . Northern Nomads ground-shared with The Celts for several years. On 30 May 2007 Steve Burr was appointed as a manager.
