Rodgers Targets Seven In A Row

How do you improve on perfection? Well, Brendan Rodgers and his Celtic players will discover if that is possible between now and May.

Celtic put themselves in the record books with their remarkable 2016-17 campaign, which not only delivered three pieces of silverware but also produced an unbeaten domestic season. The Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup were delivered in his first season as Rodgers became only the third manager in the club’s history to win a treble, after Jock Stein and Martin O’Neill.

Rodgers’ side earned a record 106 points with 34 wins and four draws and the former Liverpool manager is now setting his sights on a seventh successive Scottish Premiership title for Celtic.

However, it says a lot about the Northern Irishman’s desire for perfection that he has spoken almost as much about the points his team dropped last term as the games they won.

Rodgers is known for his attention to detail, so it was no surprise that he used the pre-season trip to Austria to outline his plans for Celtic’s 49th league title.
