    Is it??

    Considering who they are up against week in week out Unbelievable is not the term I would use.

    IMO Celtic can never be judged on anything the win domestically, if they fail to win the league or cup its poor, because of who they face.

    Not at all

    Yes I could see Rangers challenging them, not winning it but challenging them, still think rangers are at least 3 years away from winning anything.

    Last year Celtic won it by 9 points this year I expect it to be less so Rangers will have challenged them at bit more than last year

    The Celtic no. 5 scores the winner in the 67th minute on the day the club celebrate the life of Billy McNeill.

    Celtic No.5 scores when the clock is at 67:08.
    67 for the year they won the European Cup & 08 for the No. of titles they’ve won in a row.

    Simples.

    And sadly, the scorer of the winner in 1967, Stevie Chalmers, has passed away.

    You’re getting confused, Charlton have won 4 in a row this season, nowhere near 8.

    Congratulations to Celtic but the Scottish title must be the most foregone conclusion of any league. They could pretty much be given the title at the start of the season.

    Juventus just won their 8th title in a row. That league must be crap too.....Well done the super hoops....

    The bookies are very rarely wrong.

    Yes the Italian one has also become predictable as well but I wouldn't say it was a crap league. I just think the predictability and staleness of the Scottish league has really stopped Celtic making any progress in Europe. They need some competition or they will be treading water. This could be the case for Juventus as well though.

    German league dominated by one club for years too.

    Celtic get the knockout stages of the European cup but financially they can't compete with the major European League clubs.

    Regardless 8 in a row and a possible trible trible

    Agree it's a great achievement but imagine would be great to see other clubs pushing them more. Earlier on in the season I thought Hearts or Aberdeen could as Celtic didn't make a great start but in the end it was another easy win. Great for their fans but I'm sure some would like it to be a closer race. The German one had a pretty tight finish this year.

    Also, how do Celtic compare financially with Ajax I wonder? The two teams have a similar history and status though Ajax are in a league where three teams could potentially win the title.

    Ajax have arguably the best youth academy in the world.

    Celtic's record buy is Edouard for 9m and before that i think it was something like 6m going back a few years.

    Last summer Ajax spent 23m alone on 2 players.

    Ajax certainly have a bigger budget then. Celtic wouldn't be able to compete with them but they should be doing better than teams like AEK Athens in Europe.
