Celtic fans jumped on the irony of watching their side reach 55 domestic matches unbeaten.
A 4-0 win over Ross County put the hoops clear of Aberdeen at the top of the Premiershup with 50 wins and 5 draws in their domestic record.
At the start of last season someone inside Ibrox decided to create the #goingfor55 slogan to drum up excitement for Mark Warburton’s title charge.
That awkward moment when Sevco starts “#GoingFor55” last year not knowing what Celtic had in store. The #BanterYears continue. ????????????

Warbo was long gone before the title was officially claimed by Celtic with his successor Pedro Caixinha already beginning to look vulnerable.
The fifth best coach in Qatar suffered two embarassing defeats to the hoops last season with patience wearing thin for the fifth best coach in Qatar after his side crashed out of the Europa League to Progres Niederkorn.
Next Saturday the hoops go to Ibrox knowing that a win would send then eight points ahead of their city rivals and put Caixinha’s future in doubt seven months into his reign.
