Celtic are one of the most decorated teams in world football.

With over 100 trophies to their name, Celtic have a proud history of winning all sorts, from the Scottish Premiership to their infamous European Cup success back in 1967.

Thanks to all the successful managers in Celtic history, there have been occasions where the Bhoys have won multiple honours in a season.

The Treble-Treble winning seasons will be remembered as legendary but have the club ever gone one further and won a Quadruple?

How many times have Celtic won the Quadruple?

Considered as one of the greatest achievements in football, to win four major honours in a season isn’t impossible, but rarely heard of.

Not many teams can acclaim to it but Celtic are one of those, having done it once before.

To nobody’s surprise it came in the famous 1966/67 season where the Hoops lifted four different trophies.

They won the European Cup, Scottish First Division, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup in that season, with the team best known for their continental success and subsequently dubbed the ‘Lisbon Lions’.

How many teams have won a Quadruple?

There is lots of argument as to what you would define to be a true Quadruple. For a Scottish club, it would be the Scottish Premiership, Scottish League Cup, Scottish Cup and then the Champions League.

A Quadruple can only be won across a single season and not a calendar year, ruling out a lot of teams.

In fact, no side in the top five European Leagues has won the ‘true Quadruple’ meaning that the Bhoys are the only side to have done so.

What we can essentially say is that Celtic are in a league of their own…
