With their eighth domestic treble completed Celtic became Scotland’s most successful club.
115 trophies won against the odds with almost as many denied by honest mistakes with today’s match officials trying their best to avoid being involved in the record breaking.
Twice in the build up to the second goal Celtic played on or took a quickly taken free kick following acts of brutality by Inverness Caley Thistle players.
For no obvious reason Steven McLean spent two minutes trying to find a reason to disallow Liel Abada’s front post strike- unlike in 2015 he had to admit defeat with the goal standing.

A fifth treble in seven years saw Celtic edge one past the old Rangers club that went into liquidation on 2012- never to add to their ill-gotten gains.
The SFA and SPL refused to apply justice retrospectively for over a decade of fielding ineligible players. When Queens Park tried that in this season’s Scottish Cup their 2-0 victory was changed to 0-3 in the record books.
Celtic’s 100th honour was when they won the 2016 League Cup against Aberdeen, with 115 reached today the next milestone will be 120 with only a fool likely to bet against Callum McGregor having the armband that day.
Fock you Rangers!
At one point in the second half of the game an Inverness player went down with a fained injury as Celtic had the ball the player thought it would be put of play it wasn’t and we played on.
We then went on the attack and play broke down in the 6 yard box and the Caley keeper picked the ball up looked up field and the conman that was supposedly lying injured made a remarkable recovery was back on his feet and chasing the ball the keeper kicked up the park.CHEATING BASTARDS.
