John Kennedy draws Celtic parallels with Brendan Rodgers 'Invincibles' as he eyes up ANOTHER undefeated Treble

John Kennedy reckons there’s something familiar about this Celtic squad.

The Hoops coach reckon they are starting to look a bit Invincible. Ange Postecoglou’s men have steamrollered sides in Scotland in recent weeks as they head into Sunday’s Viaplay Cup Final showdown with Rangers in red hot form. The 4-0 canter against Aberdeen made it nine wins on the spin since the 2-2 league draw at Ibrox at New Year with the side clattering an incredible 31 goals and conceding just two.

It’s relentless, eyewatering form and it has stirred up a few old memories for Postecoglou’s trusted lieutenant. Kennedy has been part of record breaking Celtic sides in the past as a player and as a coach. He burst on to the scene as a kid and played a role in Martin O’Neill’s incredible team that went three years and 77 games without a home defeat. The first team coach was also alongside Brendan Rodgers when his men completed the incredible Invincible Treble in his first season.

Rodgers’ outfit dropped only four points all season that year on their way to the clean sweep and although the Hoops have tasted defeat this term – in the shock at St Mirren – Kennedy can see some similarities to that campaign in the class of 2022/23. He sees the same ruthless streak, the same fierce determination and frightening intensity in the same.

And more importantly, he sees the same insatiable appetite for success. They’ve have their first bite this weekend. The Viaplay Cup Final will give Postecoglou the chance to make it three trophies out of four on the back of last year’s double winning campaign.

And with a healthy nine-point gap at the top of the Premiership and a last eight spot in the Scottish Cup, the prospect of a clean sweep is very much alive. Kennedy
