Celtic has attempted this twice in their history, but both attempts concluded in agonising failure: 1975 and 2021.

Celtic have attempted this twice in their history, but both attempts were unsuccessful, in 1975 and 2021. Celtic is the most successful club in Scotland and, as a result, one of the most decorated in the world of football.

Throughout their illustrious history, the Parkhead giants have secured 119 significant accolades, which is one more than their Glasgow arch-rivals, Rangers. The mammoth total comprises 54 Scottish top-flight titles, with number 55 expected to arrive imminently

as Brendan Rodgers endeavours to secure the Premiership trophy against Dundee United. This will elevate them to the same level as the Rangers, who have claimed 55 titles throughout their history. Celtic fans have already revived a refrain that was sung for the majority of the 2010s, as they anticipate their fourth consecutive Premiership title this season. Celtic has never emerged victorious in the 10IAR.

At the conclusion of the 1990s, Rangers came perilously close to achieving their goals under Walter Smith. However, Celtic, led by Wim Jansen, were able to avert the unfathomable. Twice, the Hoops have been mere seasons removed from reaching the promised land.

Nevertheless, Rangers were the ones who thwarted the Bhoys on both occasions.Celtic’s inaugural 10IAR endeavour (1965-1975) The Scottish top-flight record for the most consecutive title victories was previously held by Celtic between 1905 and 1910, with a total of six. Willie Maley, the club’s inaugural manager, was in charge during that historic run.

Rangers subsequently achieved a similar achievement by winning six consecutive titles from 1927 to 1932. Celtic, under the legendary Jock Stein, surpassed Maley’s run in 1972 by winning their seventh Scottish Division One title in a row. In addition to reaching the final of the League Cup and the semi-finals of the European Cup, the Hoops also won the Scottish Cup that season. However, they were defeated by Inter Milan on penalties.

Celtic not only won eight consecutive matches, but they also managed to win nine consecutive matches in 1974, while Stein was still the club’s manager. So, what transpired during the 1974/75 season? Celtic was able to only finish third, despite a wonderful start to the league campaign, despite all those years of dominance. Position Season P

The Hoops, on the other hand, finished third, surpassing Dundee United on goal difference (+40 to +29). Between August 31 and January 1, Celtic suffered only one league defeat. The Rangers defeated them on September 14, and they did so again on January 4. That was followed by seven additional league losses, including three consecutive losses in March 1975.

The Celtic campaign was one to forget; however, it is impossible for their 9IAR run to be matched. Celtic’s subsequent bid at a 10-year international agreement (2011-2021) Regrettably, Rangers replicated it in the 1990s. Graeme Souness and Walter Smith were the winners of their respective titles, and Celtic successfully halted the historic 10 at the conclusion of the decade.
