Willie Maley’s 1917 62-game unbeaten run in domestic football (or just football, as it was back then) was matched against Kilmarnock, but as Rangers fans found out in 1998, you should never assume that just because you can match a record, you can beat it.
Tomorrow Celtic’s shot at history goes on the line at McDiarmid Park against St Johnstone, where we last lost a domestic game, back in May 2016. St Johnstone have already relieved Celtic of a couple of points this season, and will have no fears of what they face in tomorrow’s early kick off.
For Brendan Rodgers, the challenge will be to peak energy levels after an emotionally and physically draining evening against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. His players are Celtic, not Robotic, and he will know there is a very real chance of a reversal, if we are anything less than 100% prepared.
History is yours for the taking, Celtic. Bring the glory home from Perth.

I’m well thanks, hope you’re good.
Their accounts state that the projected shortfall is dependant on football success and European qualification. Probably budgeted for at least getting to the semi final of the Scottish cup and at least a few rounds of the Europa League qualifying next season. We know how that went this season! Or maybe they have done a Craigy Whyte and budgeted for the Champions League!! Would anyone put it past them? Also it’s last years accounts so doesn’t take into account Pedro’s warchest this season, their current wage bill and the fact they paid Pedro and three of his staff off amongst many other things.
Nothing’s adds up but the lights remain on.
Anyway, just arrived in Perth where it’s fresh and the sun is shining. A good day for football you might say. Let’s do this. Enjoy the game everyone. #63
