63 games and counting: Celtic have broken their own 100-year-old unbeaten record

Brendan Rodgers’ side have not lost a domestic game since May 2016.

St Johnstone 0-4 Celtic

CELTIC EXTENDED their incredible unbeaten run to a record 63 domestic games with a win at St Johnstone this afternoon — breaking their own record which had stood since 1917.

Goals from Scott Sinclair, Moussa Dembele and Olivier Ntcham, along with an own goal from Steven Anderson saw Celtic cruise to the historic win.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have not lost a domestic game since May 2016 when they were beaten by St Johnstone – Corkman Graham Cummins scoring the winner that day.

But the Hoops were comfortably better at McDiarmaid Park on Saturday and never looked back after Sinclair gave them the lead on 28 minutes.

The points weren’t made safe until 18 minutes from time when Dembele doubled the advantage, and after Anderson’s unfortunate og, Ntcham completed the rout with Celtic’s fourth a minute from time.

    That’s shocking from Tipp. Why not play in the Munster Senior League against Limerick Clare Waterford Kerry and Cork give fellas realistic game time instead of meaningless friendly wins over depleted Mary I team. I might be wrong there might be something I don’t know.

    Spot on. They had no interest in the Munster League, because they thought they would have meaningless matches. Guess what happened next!

    Was that three McGrath brothers playing together? Liam, John and Noel? Also very promising to see Bill Maher from Kilsheelan-Kilcash, a traditionally footballing club, lining out.

    Rubbish. The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum. What did he learn from this? How could you possibly gauge a players potential in a game like this’? You could have dragged 15 lads out of a pub, who would have put up a better show. They passed on the Munster Hurling League for this garbage? He wanted the month of January to himself. He could well be getting a whole lot more months, as this shower have no idea how to run a hurling team at elite level.What a moron. O’Shea was a romantic, and this guy is the ‘Terminator’ in a hurling form. The Tipperary County Board should be strung up, for appointing these idiots.
