CELTIC TREBLE TREBLE

Celtic won a Scottish FA Domestic Treble again yesterday, the third time in three years!  This is not surprising news from north of the border, looking at who The Bhoys have to play against.
Need evidence?...watch the first 8 seconds of  yesterday's game between Celtic and Hearts! Celtic have won the Scottish Football League Cup, the Scottish FA Premiership League and Scottish FA Cup each season over the past three consecutive seasons.

Way back in August 2018, at the start of this season, Celtic beat Heart of Midlothian 2-1 at Tynecastle in the league to get the season going and on May 25th 2019, the two met with a similar result in the Scottish FA Cup Final at Hampden Park.

Celtic is the first club in Europe to secure a "Treble-Treble". It is also the first time that Celtic have won the Scottish Cup in three successive years. Rangers have done that twice and Aberdeen once in modern football.
In past years Queen's Park and Vale of Leven have done the hat trick, back in a day. In 1909 the Celtic v Rangers final was abandoned following a riot, after a 2-2 and 1-1 replay, so cup was awarded.

Queen's Park were the successful club early in early Scottish football history. The last time they won the cup was 1893 with 10 wins overall. Their last final was in 1900 and they have been runners up twice.
Rangers have won 33 cups and been runners up 18 times.

Over the "Treble Treble", Celtic played 141 games, won 112 , drawn 20 and scored 339 goals conceding only 82.
Sadly the celebratory bus parade in the city today was cancelled due to the Police having safety concerns.

In the 2016-17 season, the hoops had no defeats in domestic games, winning 47 games and drawing 4.

In 1966-7 Celtic won the Scottish Football League, the Scottish FA Cup and the European Cup (now known as the Champions League). They did this again in 1968-9 and in 2000-1.
They have done the Double 12 times.
They hold the World Record for 14 consecutive Football League Cup Final appearances between 1964-78.
In 1966-7 the club scored a World record number of goals scored in a season, 196.

Celtic holds the UK record for the longest unbeaten run by a professional league club 69 (60 wins 9 draws) in 582 days between May 5 2016 and December 17th 2017.
They have won the Cup 39 times and been runners up 18 times in 133 finals.

The club's roots were set in November 1887 and Celtic's first game was against neighbours, Glasgow Rangers (founded 1872). It was the club's first fixture and this took place as a friendly in May 1888. Celtic won 5-2. No hoops at the start! They started wearing hoops in 1903, see below.
