If you know your football history, you’ll appreciate just how remarkable Celtic’s achievement is. Before yesterday, no team had ever managed to complete a clean sweep of domestic trophies two seasons running in the 71 years since such a feat became possible. This milestone is a testament to the consistency, skill, and determination of Scott Brown and his Celtic teammates, who have now etched their names into the annals of Scottish football history.

The domestic treble—comprising the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup, and Scottish League Cup—has always been a rare achievement. Since the League Cup was introduced in 1947, only a handful of teams have even managed to win all three trophies in a single season. Celtic themselves first achieved this in 1967, during their legendary European Cup-winning campaign. However, to replicate this success in consecutive seasons is unprecedented, highlighting the dominance of Brendan Rodgers’ side during this period.

Scottish football historian David Potter, author of several books on Celtic’s legacy, noted: “This isn’t just a triumph for the current squad; it’s a moment that cements Celtic’s place as one of the most successful clubs in Scottish football history. The consistency required to achieve back-to-back trebles is extraordinary, especially in a league known for its competitiveness.”

This historic achievement also reflects the broader evolution of Scottish football. Over the decades, the game has seen numerous changes, from the introduction of European competitions to the rise of modern training methods. Yet, Celtic’s ability to adapt and excel in different eras has remained a constant. Their latest success is a reminder of the club’s enduring legacy and its ability to inspire future generations of players and fans alike.

For supporters, this moment is more than just a statistic—it’s a celebration of the hard work and dedication that has gone into building this extraordinary team. As Celtic’s manager Brendan Rodgers aptly put it: “This is a historic day for the club, and every player, staff member, and fan should be incredibly proud.”

For those who follow Scottish football, this achievement is a reminder of the importance of perseverance and ambition. It’s a story of how a team can rise to the occasion, break records, and create memories that will be talked about for decades to come. If you’re a football fan, this is a moment to savour—a piece of history that may never be repeated.
