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.
