Celtic went into the 2002–03 season defending their Scottish Premier League title, which they won in 2001–02.
They also entered the UEFA Champions League at the qualifying stage, as well as taking part in the two domestic cup competitions, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.

European Campaign
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Celtic went into third qualifying stage of the Champions League but failed to beat Basel. They then dropped down into the UEFA Cup where they beat teams including Blackburn Rovers, Stuttgart and Liverpool to reach the final where they lost 2–3 after extra time to Porto.
Domestic Cups
Celtic reached the final of the Scottish League Cup, but a late penalty miss by John Hartson meant the trophy went to Rangers. As the amount of games to be played took its toll, an inexperienced Celtic side lost to Inverness CT in the Scottish Cup.
