Tom Boyd wants to see Celtic win the treble AND finish the season unbeaten.

In 2001 Boyd led Martin O’Neill’s side to the treble and is enjoying the success of the side created by Brendan Rodgers.

The hoops are just nine matches away from completing their SPFL season unbeaten and two matches away from lifting the Scottish Cup.

An idea seems to have been hatched that going through the SPFL unbeaten would be detrimental to the club but Boyd happily kicks that idea into touch.

With the biggest and best squad in the country Rodgers can rotate his squad, introduce some younger players AND keep in winning.

I understand why people say Celtic shouldn’t be preoccupied with their chase to become The Invincibles but I don’t agree with them,” Boyd told the Daily Record.

The longer this run goes then the greater the desire for it to be something Celtic will be desperate to protect. I don’t agree with the notion Celtic should focus on the treble and rest a few players.

If they were to claim the Invincibles tag then that’s something which would endure for generations.

If you look back at the Invincible team which Arsenal created during the 2003-04 season then you still see programmes being made about that side so you only need to look back to that.

If you are being greedy then you would want to have both the treble and the Invincibles label placed on them. It would speak volumes about the level of performances which has been consistent so far this season.”

The domestic season resumes on April 2 with Celtic having the chance to clinch the title by beating Hearts at Tynecastle.

At Hampden on April 23 they take on Sevco for a place in the final of the Scottish Cup and the chance to complete the treble for the fourth time in the club’s history.
