Sorry to be a pedant, The longest unbeaten League run ever is 62 games between 1915-17 - a record held by celtic, Morton also went 25 wins in 63/64.

 

Edited to add; As can be seen in the case of celtic these are wartime years, I don't understand why celtic can add war time years to their records and we don't.

 

Which records? They cannot add titles, as long as these were nationwide titles. Hence, our League Titles during the WWII are not included.

 

It depends on whether the WWI leagues were actually carried out though.

I doubt the gulf is much more than DA's team to the rest of the SPL (bar Celtic) in his third season, and far less transfer fee wise...

 

No matter how much the perceived gulf, Division one players are still in the top 1000 players in the country, they know how to play, they are very organised and how much better can the top 100 say, be? The cost of things always goes up exponentially when going for the higher percentiles of quality, the laws of diminishing returns always runs true.

 

You can pick up a Chateau Haut Brion 2010 en premieur for £650 a bottle and still have to professionally store it for 10 years before drinking it. It gets 100/100 on Wine Spectator. Or you can pay £12-£20 for a more ordinary Bordeaux which gets 90/100 and you can drink it straight away. You might even prefer it - and you never know if the more expensive one has been corked or otherwise tainted.

 

There are plenty of lob-sided leagues in the world but only one team has ever won every game and that was a long time ago in an 18 game season.

 

Had this exact bottle in London in October at a wine tasting. It's New World, American counterpart blew it away at half the price. Not even close to being worth the retail price, kind of like modern day footballers :P

2nd world war goals are included in celtic scoring records, however this thread is about games unbeaten not anything else from what I can see.

Just interested crucible.

Wiki shows Celtic having won 32/38 games in 15/16 and 27/38 in 16/17.

Does that mean their run of 61 wins was uninterrupted, and everything either side of that, they lost or drew?

The record is for unbeaten, not consecutive wins.

But, I was told that during these years, their was an Orange cabal in place at the SFA and Celtc were subjected to all manner of injustices, including their team being sent to fight in the war and all other players were sent to Govan to work at the yards?
