Ange Postecoglou has been talking about the “extraordinary” trophy run Celtic are on.
The Hoops face Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Hampden on Saturday, bidding for a fifth domestic treble in seven seasons.
17 trophies have been won in all during the period which is one of the greatest spells in our entire history.
Victory in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday will bring about our eighth treble all in — a world record.
Postecoglou would have contributed to that but he doesn’t seem keen to take too much credit.
“It’s not my world record, that’s the first thing,” he told the media today. (Celtic YouTube)

“It’s the club. That’s on the back of other managers and players who have built this club.
“That’s the responsibility you carry. Every time you achieve something at this football club, every trophy is marked, it’s heralded in the right way.
“It’s quite extraordinary, when you think of having a quadruple treble in one space of time.
“You might see it over a 30 or 40 year span but to see it over such a small space of time.
“Our opportunity to bring another one is incredible.”
When you consider that we only won three trebles between the launch of the League Cup in 1946/47 and 2000/01, it is remarkable that we’ve had so many since 2016/17.
Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions started things in our famous 1966/67 season, while Martin O’Neill, Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon have also contributed.
Trebles used to be extremely rare things. You could go generations without seeing Celtic win one.
Now they seem a possibility every season. These are remarkable days.
Postecoglou knows the true value of making history and will have the players aware of that too.
If we turn up with the right attitude on Saturday, we’ll be hard to stop. More history will be made.
