Former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner says failure to win a much-discussed 10th Scottish Premiership title in succession will be unforgivable in the eyes of supporters.
The Hoops are looking to become the first Scottish team in history to win 10 league crowns on the spin after Jock Stein’s side managed nine in a row in the 1960s and Rangers did the same during the 1990s.
It would be a remarkable achievement, but it has suddenly been thrown into doubt.
Rangers now find themselves right in the mix this season, sitting level on points but having played a game more.
Bonner told the Scottish Daily Mail that both Brendan Rodgers and chief executive Peter Lawwell will feel the wrath of the Celtic fans if they fall short, with seven consecutive triumphs currently secured:
The fans won’t forgive them – Peter Lawwell more than Brendan, probably – if they don’t win ten in a row.
Given the position of strength they were working from and how close they are to doing it.
Most Celtic supporters won’t remember Jock Stein’s nine in a row but they’ll have lived through Rangers equalling it and now they want to see it surpassed.
The league is undoubtedly the big thing this year. I would forget about the Treble and just concentrate on winning that eighth successive championship – a double this season would be enough.
