CELTIC 16/17 73 POINTS AFTER 25 LEAGUE GAMES
THE blow of losing to Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi while they were still in the Championship signalled the end for Ronny Deila but few could have predicted the wild ride which would follow.
Celtic needed a boost and brendan Rodgers was certainly that. He ended a three-year wait for Champions League football with pair of draws against Manchester City a highlight.
but it was domestically where Celtic produced a memorable season. Rodgers masterminded a treble, an undefeated domestic season en route to Tom Rogic’s goal that beat Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final. The Dons were their nearest challengers but were beaten in both Hampden showpieces and their second-place finish was 30 points behind Celtic.
Key stat: Celtic scored at least four in nine of 19 away league games.
