The 1915–16 Scottish football season was Celtic's 28th season of competitive football, in which they competed in the Scottish First Division.[1] Celtic won the League for the third year in a row, by eleven points over nearest rival Rangers. The Scottish Cup was not played for the second consecutive year because of the Great War.
Celtic won both the Glasgow Cup and the Glasgow Merchants' Charity Cup.
