Stat zone for Celtic in 2024 - A record breaking year for the Bhoys in Green
Scottish champions Celtic have had an unforgettable last 12 months that will go down as one of their most successful years in history.
With only one game left they have already guaranteed their lowest amount of defeats in all competitions in a calendar year in over a century
After 52 games they have only been defeated twice (Once in the league at Tynecastle when down to ten men and conceded a controversial penalty, and once in the Champions League against a rampant Dortmund side who had just reached the CL final months earlier)
That’s the fewest amount of defeats since 1919 when they were undefeated the whole year but only played 40 games - 12 fewer than 2024 - and never had any European football
If they avoid defeat against St Johnstone on Sunday it will be the first time in over 20 years they have been undefeated at home in all competitions for a full calendar year and only the third time in 100 years
They also have an 80% win record for 2024 - the highest % in the last 50 years
They are undefeated in 5 games against Rangers - including 4 wins and a draw
They have won all 3 domestic trophies available in 2024
That includes beating Rangers in two finals
They also became the most decorated club in Europe by winning their 117th, 118th and 119th major trophies
They also overtook Rangers in the all-time Old Firm head to head in the long history of the fixture
Two clean sheets away from home in the Champions League for the first time since the tournament was rebranded in 1992
37 Premiership games (1 defeat)
4 League Cup games (0 defeats)
5 Scottish Cup games (0 defeats)
6 Champions League games (1 defeat)
Currently sit 12 points clear at the top of the Premiership
Brendan Rodgers became the most successful manager in the history of the Old Firm fixture
James Forrest equalled Bobby Lennox as the most decorated player in the history of Scottish football
And to add to all that they became the first club to win both the Premiership and the SWPL in the same season
Their women’s team also became the first Scottish side to reach the group stage of the Women’s Champions League
Fair to say 2024 has been a year to remember for Scotland’s premier club
Jonny Kenny is the wrong type.of player for Celtic as most teams defend deep, he be better off going to the English championship
Has @Jake_Stevens apologised for what he said about Brendan Rodgers yet?
Epic stuff. Hopefully they can get over the mighty st. Johnstone. What dreams are made of.
Before @thedancingbaby time, but Hartson and Sutton used to ragdoll those hun bastards something else. Both always well up for it with them
