Celtic made it 22 consecutive SPFL matches of scoring at least two goals, a club record stretching back over 130 years, in today’s 5-0 win over Ross County.
When Scotland’s Co-efficient comes up with a stat it tends to be spot on with the popular X account extending his analysis to domestic matters as well as UEFA competitions.
Luke McCowan scored the second goal in today’s 5-0 win over Ross County to give Celtic 37 points out of 39, Aberdeen are the only side to have denied Celtic full points in the SPFL this season with a trip to Pittodrie on Wednesday offering the chance of revenge.
A controversial defeat at Tynecastle at the start of March was the last time that Celtic failed to score, since then the backlash has been fierce enough to win one title and build up a significant lead towards another.
? Celtic are on the longest run in the club’s history of scoring 2+ goals in consecutive league matches
? That’s now 22 league games in a row where they’ve scored 2 or more goals, since the 2-0 loss at Tynecastle in March
? They’ve scored 67 goals in 21 games & 40 mins

That run includes three Glasgow derbies with eight goals scored in total to reinforce Celtic’s domination of the domestic scene.
This season the hoops have scored 40 goals in 13 SPFL matches while conceding just four, visits to Pittodrie and Ibrox over the next five weeks will provide serious tests but this Celtic side seems to relish whatever challenge is thrown their way.
Scales, McCowan top class.
Last loss at The Scumbos in March…
Brendan has taken fuckin sweet revenge on Cheatin’ Beaton!
