Celtic extend club goalscoring record

Celtic have made it 22 consecutive SPFL matches scoring at least two goals, a club record dating back over 130 years, in today’s 5-0 win over Ross County.

When the Scotland Co-efficient presents a statistic it tends to be fair, with the popular X-count extending its analysis to domestic matters as well as UEFA competitions.

Luke McCowan scored the second goal in today’s 5-0 win over Ross County to give Celtic 37 points from 39, Aberdeen are the only team to deny Celtic full points in the SPFL this season with a trip to Pittodrie on Wednesday providing the opportunity for revenge.

A controversial defeat at Tynecastle in early March was the last time Celtic failed to score, since then the reaction has been violent enough to win one title and build a significant lead towards another.

This series includes three Glasgow derbies with eight goals scored in total to reinforce Celtic’s dominance on the domestic stage.

This season, the Hoops have scored 40 goals in 13 SPFL matches while conceding just four. Visits to Pittodrie and Ibrox over the next five weeks will provide serious tests, but this Celtic side appear to be relishing whatever challenge is thrown at them.
