Overview

Celtic began the 2010–11 pre-season by signing Cardiff City midfielder Joe Ledley[1] and defenders Charlie Mulgrew[2] and Cha Du-Ri on free transfers,[3] while Daryl Murphy[4] and Efraín Juárez signed for undisclosed fees.[5] Former club captain Stephen McManus left for Middlesbrough for a fee of £1.5 million,[6] and goalkeeper Artur Boruc left for Fiorentina.[7]

In July Celtic were drawn in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against Portuguese side Braga.[8] Celtic lost the first leg of the tie 3–0 away from home.[9] Celtic won the return leg 2–1, but went out of the Champions League 4–2 on aggregate.[10] Celtic were knocked out of European football altogether in August, after they lost their Europa League qualifying match against FC Utrecht 4–2 on aggregate.[11]

Celtic won their first eight league games of the SPL season,[12] before losing to Rangers, who also had a 100% record, 3–1.[12] Celtic started November beating Aberdeen 9–0 in an SPL record victory.[13] They then lost to Hearts[14] and drew at home against Dundee United[15] and Inverness Caledonian Thistle,[16] with a victory over St Mirren the only consolation.[17] The Inverness match was notable because it was officiated by Luxembourg referee Alain Hamer,[16] who had stepped in because of the Scottish football referee strike.[18] Celtic began 2011 by beating Rangers 2–0 at Ibrox,[19] and beat their rivals again 3–0 on 20 February.[20] Celtic finished the season in second place in the SPL table, a point behind Rangers.[21]

In the League Cup, Celtic beat Inverness 6–0[22] and St Johnstone 3–2[23] before beating Aberdeen in the semi-final.[24] In the final, they lost 2–1 to Rangers after extra time.[25]

In the Scottish Cup, Celtic entered in the fourth round, beating Third Division team Berwick Rangers 2–0,[26] and drawing 2–2 with Rangers in the fifth round.[27] They beat Rangers 1–0 in the replay[28] and booked their place in the final beating Aberdeen 4–0 at Hampden Park.[29] In the final Celtic beat Motherwell 3-0, with goals scored by Ki Sung-Yeung, Charlie Mulgrew and an own goal from Stephen Craigan.[30]
