Celtic fans have had a lot to celebrate this year, with the team absolutely flying under the management of Brendan Rodgers.
An impressive run in the Champions League saw the Bhoys narrowly defeated by eventual quarter finalists Bayern Munich.
The Bhoys are also on the brink of yet another Treble, with just Aberdeen standing in their way in the Scottish Cup final.
Kasper Schmeichel is standing out as one of the best keepers in Europe due to one key stat.
In addition to that, Hoops fans have also been able to witness a terrible season from Rangers.
The club’s historic rivals hardly challenged in the league and saw their unpopular manager Philippe Clement sacked midway through the season.
Daizen Maeda has also been named the Scottish PFA Player of the Year after an outstanding season.
Therefore, fans haven’t been short of moments to savour this season, but ex-Celtic star Simon Donnelly has decided to add a bit of nostalgia into the mix.
Simon Donnelly shares photo to mark important Celtic anniversary
Today marks 17 years since Celtic stopped Rangers from winning 10-in-a-row, by securing the league title themselves at Celtic Park.
Simon Donnelly has shared a great picture and bit of insight into his experience of the historic day.
Posting a picture with his mum holding tickets to the game, he said: “May 9 1998, front door, Celtic Park, tickets, check. Mum we’ve a job to do, see you after.”
Celtic had to win that day, beating St Johnstone 2-0 at home with goals from Henrik Larsson and Harold Brattbakk.
Rangers won their game against Dundee United that day, meaning if Celtic didn’t get a result the Gers would have won 10-in-a-row.
As Brattbakk made it 2-0 to Celtic, Hoops fans sang: “Cheerio, 10 in a row.”
Celtic fans react to Simon Donnelly’s nostalgic photo
Simon Donnelly’s post has gone down an absolute treat with Celtic fans.
One Bhoy replied: “Seems like yesterday. The relief, the joy. You deserved a beer that night mate!!”
Another supporter reflected on the uncomfortable build-up to the game: “If only it hadn’t been for that freak header the previous week from Craig Faulconbridge at Dunfermline, it would have been a much less stressful week. But we got there in the end.”
One Hoops fan looks back fondly on what ensued: “Loved this day and full weekend of partying!!!”
Another Bhoy mentioned what could have been for Donnelly: “Great day, but you were robbed of going down in history at East End Park the week before!”
Here’s hoping Celtic can keep producing moments like this that fans will remember for a lifetime.
