RedM Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Maybe no competition but that's a hell of a run. In most leagues a shock result is thrown up every now and again. Every game must be like a cup final for the 'underdogs', but no one has managed it for 63 games? That's surprising. I remember when 'Super Cally went ballastic, Celtic were atrocious' !

Wanderingred Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 It's true that Celtic haven't got any real competition but 63 games is still damn impressive. You'd think that they would have sufferred the odd defeat somewhere down the line, by the law of averages if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 To be fair as much as the competition is poor its a fairly decent run. There not playing pub teams each week are they.. coming up against decent proffesional outfits who i am sure always try to raise there game especially at Celtic park..

ollywhyte Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Have to admit it's one hell of a run regardless of the league they play in. They've had to go to Ibrox a fair few times as well which admittedly is easier than years gone by but still impressive. People say Celtic are of Championship standard so with that in mind do you think we would be able to replicate that record in the SPL, I just couldn't see it myself! I think the majority of the Premier League wouldn't either, slipping up just once in 62 games is more than likely even for the big hitters in the Premier League. What's more improessive is the longer the run has gone on the bigger scalp they have become and they are everyone's cup final, yet still they remain unbeaten. They do deserve the respect as reluctant as I am to say that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no surprise that they should be unbeaten. They don't play anyone decent in the SPL. It's a completely different story when the come up against decent European teams which highlights just how poor the SPL is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the SPL is inferior to English football - but that's inevitable given the money in the English game. Celtic have got a good side and I'd estimate they're probably top end Champ/low Prem which is an achievement in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you Robbo, of course 63 games + undefeated is impressive, but in the context of competition it's really not so. I'd expect most PL teams to be capable of doing that in Scotland: albeit achieving it is what's difficult. Fundamentally though, that someone could play every other team in its league c.4 times, home and away, and come up undefeated, will always say more about the league and the level of competition than the relative class of the team achieving it... I can't see it being any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I saw some financial accounts that said that in the season before Rangers got promoted 78% of the entire SPL wage bill was Celtic's.. Apparently Aberdeen's average wage is second highest, at £6k a week, just a sixth of Celtic's. Surely the question here is why would anyone think this is an achievement at all, the odds are so stacked in their favour. No wonder Brendan (I love myself so much) Rogers is happy winning such a joke league year on year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
