Celtic's unbeaten season: Records tumble for Scotland's 'invincibles'                                                     Manager Brendan Rodgers has two trophies in his debut season, following League Cup success in November, and has a Scottish Cup final with Aberdeen to look forward to next Saturday.

The Celtic class of 2016-17 have set a number of new SPL/Premiership-era records on their way to a sixth consecutive title.
Here are the key figures behind Scotland's 'invincibles'. No Scottish champions have gone unbeaten since the late 19th century. Celtic managed it in 1897-98, with Rangers going one better the next season, winning every game. However, those league campaigns were over 18 matches, not even half the duration of the current one.
In the SPL/Premiership era, Celtic lost one game in their 2001-02 and 2013-14 successes.
In 1967-68, both winners Celtic and runners-up Rangers were beaten just once.
Only Juventus in Italy's Serie A (2011-12), Arsenal in England's Premier League (2003-04) and Barry Town in the League of Wales (1997-98) have been unbeaten champions over a 38-game campaign in recent history.                                                                                                                                  Celtic captain Scott Brown lifts the Scottish Premiership trophy
