They won the second division in 1910-1911, gaining promotion to the first division. They proved their worth as a first division team in the 1911-1912 season when they tied New York Clan MacDonald for second place. The two teams met in a playoff for sole position of second, with Clan MacDonald winning 1-0. The next season, Celtic went on a streak of five straight league championships.
