Celtic extended their historic unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday to 56 games.
Goals from Olivier Ntcham (12′), James Forrest (40′), and Scott Sinclair (41′) saw Brendan Rodgers’s side complete a comfortable win at home to Hamilton Academical.
The result saw the current Celtic team jump ahead of recent Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk sides in the list of European league unbeaten runs.
But, incredibly, the Bhoys still haven’t even cracked the top ten.
In fact, they still don’t hold their own club record for consecutive league games without defeat, which was set all the way back in 1917.
Here’s the complete list:
104: Steaua Bucureşti (1986–89)
88: Lincoln (2009–14)
63: Sheriff (2006–08)
62: Celtic (1915–17)
