Celtic are currently on a run of 17 successive victories in all competitions.
Ange Postecoglou and his players have been victorious the last 17 times they have gone out on to the park. It’s worth repeating.
Starting from an early January win over Kilmarnock at Hampden, we’ve won each and every match of the run, netting 56 and conceding just nine.
More remarkably, 15 of the 17 matches have been won by two or more goals. Only the two recent derbies against Rangers were more nervy affairs, and even then, we led both by a couple of goals at one stage.
The run equals the incredible winning streak we enjoyed under Brendan Rodgers during the 2016/17 campaign. (Celtic Fitba Stats)
We also managed 14 straight wins in all competitions in season 2011/12 and 13 in season 2003/04. (Celtic did go on a 25 match winning run in 2003/04 but that was only in the league)
But victory over Motherwell on Saturday will have Celtic on their longest winning streak this entire century.
As we go back even further, the details become sketchier, but the pinnacle of winning runs seems to have been, unsurprisingly, set by the Lisbon Lions.
As per the excellent Celtic Fitba Stats website, the record seems to sit at 25 successive wins.
In stretches from a win over Greenock Morton in April 1966 all the way to November of that year when we beat Stirling Albion.
So eight more to go to equal the record and nine to beat it. The latter would involve winning every game between now and the end of the season and the first of the new campaign.
