Record breaking Celtic – It’s just another incredible season in Paradise…
While the late and wildly celebrated equaliser at Pittodrie yesterday kept the Celtic corks in the bottle for now at least the slight delay in crowning Celtic Champions again for the 13th time in 14 seasons, gives as a chance to reflect on our club’s incredible achievements.
We’re grateful to Grand Auld Team on X for pointing out the following:
At the end of this season Brendan Rodgers will be the most decorated living manager in the history of Scottish football.
James Forrest will be the most decorated player in Scottish football history.
Celtic will be the most decorated club in Scotland, Britain, Europe and arguably the world.
Celtic will be the first club in football history to finish in the top two of their domestic league for THIRTY consecutive seasons.
Celtic will have a new record or winning at least one trophy in 22 out of the last 25 seasons.
Celtic will equal the record of most top flight titles in any of Europe’s top 40 leagues.
Celtic could have a new world record of nine domestic trebles.

Celtic’s astonishing success in the 21st century means that Celtic supporters of today have enjoyed unrelenting glory season and season. Yes in the second half of the 1960s and the early 1970s Jock Stein’s Celtic side was doing it all in European football, including of course reaching two European Cup finals, winning the first against Inter Milan in Lisbon on 25 May 1967.
Celtic of course are the only Scottish club – dad or alive – to have win the European Cup to be crowned Champions of Europe.
Cesar with the European Cup
That can’t and won’t be matched in modern football, that’s clear. But year after year it’s an astonishing achievement for our football club. Other than that freakish covid season few of the younger generation of Celtic fans have know nothing but title glory come the end of the campaign.
We shouldn’t celebrate it as ’55’ – That’s just their comfort blanket
And of course the opposite applies across the city where they only have that Covid title to shout about when that number 55 appeared from nowhere. Personally I don’t think we should get involved in that number game, which is only designed to ease their own insecurities about Charles Green buying the titles for them.
Next year when Brendan Rodgers delivers 5IAR we can talk about having more titles wins that both their clubs combined. That will do me.
