Celtic’s 114 league goals scored this season are the most the club have netted in the Scottish top flight since way back in the 1937/38 campaign.
As the goals rained in against Aberdeen thanks to Kyogo Furuhashi, Carl Starfelt and Hyeongyu Oh, this Celtic team moved up the club’s league goalscoring ranking, even surpassing the 1966/67 Lisbon Lions team and their 111 league goals total.
The Bhoys have averaged an incredible three goals per game across the 38 matches in the Scottish Premiership this season, with Kyogo ending up the club’s top scorer.
A further three players have reached double figures in all competitions – Daizen Maeda, Jota and Liel Abada. Other strong contributors on the goal front include Giorgos Giakoumakis, Hyeongyu Oh, Aaron Mooy and Reo Hatate.
Ange Postecoglou has brought a swagger and style to Celtic that cannot be denied and arguably hasn’t been seen in generations.
Yes, there have been hiccups in recent weeks but let’s not forget the title had already been won. The levels of consistency this season have been phenomenal and the attacking football on display blistering at times.
Going on to secure a treble of trophies would only cement that and increase the iconic status of this squad. That feat is very possible now, with just one game remaining against lower-league opposition.
