Anything that is true about Celtic's origins is also true of Hibs. Why don't Hibs have millions of fans?
Because trophies. Because glory-huntung twats.
Anyway. Celtic have consistently voted alongside Rangers to block any meaningful change in Scotland. What they did in the 1880s is about as relevant as the activities of Ardwick FC to the murderous tyrants that run Man City.
If you want an example of what twats they are we have to go back as far as... oh, today. A title decider and they give 750 tickets to the away team.
Take away your weird glory-hunter tolerance for Celtic and imagine what you would be saying if that was Villa at Old Trafford or Anfield.
