The 2016–17 season is the 128th season of competitive football by Celtic. They will compete in the Scottish Premiership, Champions League, League Cup and the Scottish Cup.
On 20 May 2016, Brendan Rodgers was appointed as the club's new manager, succeeding Ronny Deila in the role.
On 23 June 2016, Celtic made £1.1 million from the £11 million sale of Victor Wanyama from Southampton to Tottenham Hotspur because the club had inserted a ten percent sell on clause in his contract when he was sold by the club to Southampton in July 2013.
On 10 September 2016, Moussa Dembélé became the first Celtic player to score a hat-trick in an old firm match, in a 5–1 home victory, against Rangers since 1973 (the last was Harry Hood in the Scottish League Cup). It was also the first hat-trick scored in a league match against Rangers since 1966 (the last was Stevie Chalmers).
On 24 September 2016, Scott Sinclair broke Jimmy McGrory's record of scoring in Celtic's five successive opening league matches of the season in the 1930s, by scoring in Celtic's six successive opening league matches of the season.
