CELTIC have enjoyed a sustained period of success in recent years, with eight league titles in a row to boast of, as well as establishing a commanding 13-point in this season's Premiership campaign.

The run of title triumphs was started by Neil Lennon back in season 2011/12, and the Irishman, in charge again at the club, is continuing the remarkable run of success. He's already added to it with the league and Scottish Cup last season, as part of the historic Treble Treble, while this season, his Celtic side have won the League Cup, are in the last four of the Scottish Cup and are well out in front at the top of the league table.

The official Celtic website is celebrating our incredible run of league triumphs, and we're on to title No.7, and the 2017/18 season - another incredible year of domestic domination for the Hoops.

AGAIN, in a series focusing on the nine league titles, we have to encompass the effort put into the cup campaigns as an unprecedented second successive treble was lifted by the Celts.

All good things come to an end, though, indeed, even great things and wonderful historic records have to finish at some point and, on December 17, 2017 on a visit to Tynecastle, a Scottish team finally beat Celtic.

They were the first side to do so since May 11, 2016 and in the intervening 577 days and 69 games, Celtic had recorded 60 wins, nine draws, no defeats and scored 197 goals.

The previous British record was 62 games, achieved by Willie Maley’s Celts over 100 years earlier. The Hearts game was, however, one of only four defeats, and the 24 wins and 10 draws ensured that title No.7 of eight was in the bag.

THE KICK-OFF
The flag was raised before a game against the team the Celts had clinched the title the previous season, Hearts. A double from Leigh Griffiths plus goals from Scott Sinclair and Callum McGregor in a 4-1 win ensured the party carried on.

KEY GAME
On the morning of March 11, 2018, Celtic were on 64 point to Rangers’ 58 with a game at Ibrox that day. Later that day, Celtic were on 67 points with a game in hand despite ‘As It Stands’ tables showing Rangers on 61 points twice during the game thanks to them taking the lead twice. At 2-2, the Celts also went down to 10 men, but Odsonne Edouard came off the bench and scored the winner two minutes after coming on, to add to equalisers from Tom Rogic and Moussa Dembele.

WE’VE WON THE LEAGUE AGAIN
April 29, 2018. Celtic Park
Game 35 in a 12-team, 38-game league

Celtic were pencilled in to win the league at Easter Road, but a 2-1 defeat saw the focus switch to the derby meeting at Celtic Park a week later. A double from Odsonne Edouard alongside strikes from James Forrest, Tom Rogic and Callum McGregor as the title was clinched in the best possible way with a 5-0 win over Rangers.

IN THE CUPS
The previous season, Celtic met league runners-up, Aberdeen in both domestic cup finals. Although the Dons were still No.2 in the league, both finals this year were played against Motherwell with the Celtic wining both the League Cup and Scottish Cup with 2-0 victories over the Fir Park club. In the UEFA Champions League, Celtic parachuted from Group B to play Europa League football after the winter break, but lost to Zenit St Petersburg.
