The 1923–24 Scottish football season was Celtic's 36th season of competitive football, in which they competed in the Scottish First Division[1] and the Scottish Cup.
In the league, Celtic ended third below Rangers and Airdieonians, same as the previous year.
In the Scottish Cup, which they entered as champions, they lost 2-0 away to Kilmarnock in the first round.
This was the last season in which captain Willie Cringan played for Celtic, as he transferred early in the season to Third Lanark.
