Poll: Which domestic treble won by Celtic was the most impressive?

It is not easy to win the domestic treble in Scotland, no matter how good a team you are, which is why Celtic have only achieved the domestic clean sweep seven times in the club’s history.

The Hoops have won many trophies in the club’s history – over 100 – but have went many years without winning all three domestic trophies in Scotland. Indeed, it took until 1967, the great year in the club’s history, for the team to win the domestic treble for the first time. Celtic repeated the achievement in 1969, but then no treble was won for over 30 years.

The next treble came in 2001, in Martin O’Neill’s first season in charge, as the Hoops dominated the season in a manner that few would have expected, but laid the foundations for the success that the team has had over the next 20 years.

Despite all of Celtic’s successes in Scotland and in Europe, the treble once again proved elusive to win, and it took until the arrival of Brendan Rodgers for the Hoops to once again win a domestic clean sweep in Scotland.

The Hoops won a treble in 2017, which kickstarted an incredible run of four successive domestic trebles, under the management of Rodgers and then Neil Lennon.

There probably hasn’t been time to properly process the fact that the Hoops won four trebles in a row, but it has to be considered as one of the greatest achievements not just in Scottish football, but in football anywhere. The fact that the Bhoys were able to be so consistent for so many years is quite incredible.

The Hoops have now gone two seasons without winning a domestic treble, but hopefully Celtic’s next treble success won’t be too far away. Ange Postecoglou’s team plays the sort of football that leads to success, as has been shown in his first season at the club,
