    They call themselves Celtic Football Club, but they are known everywhere as Celtic Glasgow.

    You could probably pull up at least as many links where they are called Glasgow Celtic and I have to say I was not aware that people even call it that at all because I had never heard that.

    Anyway...who cares :).

    Just to have the final word (since you provided lots of links) :p

    These all seem to be European web sites. I have never heard anyone in this country refer to them as anything other than Celtic, or Glasgow Celtic.

    Celtic MAD - the definitive Glasgow Celtic website. Independent news and stats from footymad.net

    I've only gone for one of the many links that Google showed up.

    It's probably a language thing. Everyone in this country calls Barcelona's stadium the Nou Camp, but in Barcelona, it's referred to as the Camp Nou.
