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.8, with Neil Lennon back in charge of the club and guiding the team to another title triumph.

WHAT can you say, Celtic not only won eight-in-a-row, not only lifted an unbelievable third domestic treble in a row – the Trinity Treble, not only did they make it nine consecutive trophies, but they did so by changing manager mid-season!

The Hoops now stand within touching distance of the magnificent achievement of the late 1960s and early ‘70s when the Lisbon Lions and their underlings, the Quality Street Gang, helped win nine-in-a-row when the great Jock Stein became the only manager to do so.

With the League Cup back in the trophy room for a third successive year, Brendan Rodgers parted company with the club with 11 league games and a Scottish Cup semi-final still on the to-do list. With 27 games played the Hoops were eight points ahead of Rangers and there were 33 points still to play for. Once more Neil Lennon stepped into the breach and steered the Celts to not only the title, but the Scottish Cup as well – No.8 was in the bag, and so was the Trinity Treble,

THE KICK-OFF
Once Danny McGrain had raised the seventh successive title flag, Celtic got down to the business of delivering No.8 and they set ball rolling with a 3-1 win over Livingston with goals from Tom Rogic, Odsonne Edouard and Olivier Ntcham.

KEY GAME
Hearts were the early leaders and sat at the top for the first dozen games or so. For the Edinburgh side’s 12th game, they visited Celtic Park on top with 26 points and a goal difference of 12 from 11 games. The Hoops had 22 points and a goal difference of 16 from 10 games, but a 5-0 win for Celtic took them to within a point of the top, reduced the gap to one point while Hearts’ goal difference was now down to seven and Celtic’s up to 21. Celtic would soon make the No.1 spot their own for the remainder of the season.
