How Celtic’s Impressive League Start Compares to Invincible Season

It took a half time talking to from manager Brendan Rodgers, but Celtic eventually got the job done at Tynecastle yesterday evening after a sub-par first half performance.

The Hoops proved their mettle in the second 45 as goals from Nicolas Kuhn, Kyogo Furuhashi, and super sub-Adam Idah helped them to a dominant 4-1 triumph.

After Rangers and Aberdeen dropped points earlier in the day, an air of pressure was on the Bhoys going into yesterday evening’s clash. They more than lived up to the test, however.

Celtic now sit a hefty 11 points ahead of third-placed Rangers and three in front of Aberdeen at the Scottish Premiership’s summit.

They have dropped points just once in the league this season and have 34 points from their opening 12 matches – the exact same tally they had from their first 12 Games in the 2016/17 invincible season [X]. In fact, Celtic have actually started the campaign better than that year this time around because they currently have a +31 goal difference; by this point in 2016/17, they only had +25 [X].

Regularly blowing teams away domestically and comPeting on the continent, Celtic looks like a well-oiled machine this term, and nothing, it seems, in Scotland can stop them.

The future is bright for the Bhoys under Brendan Rodgers this campaign. Perhaps fans can begin to dream of making more History.
