Nine in a row

[compo 7,014]

Righty ho and away we go a simple question this Sunday between seasons 65/67 and 73/74 Celtic did nine in a row 

between seasons 88/89 and 96/97 Rangers did nine in a row thinking about the  these achievements which one has the most merit .

During Rangers’ niar there was fairly consistent, sometime stern, competition from Aberdeen and at times Motherwell and Kilmarnock and the occasional flicker from Hearts and at the end, celtic started to become a nuisance.

 

Over their niar Hibs had a go, sometimes Dundee Utd and Aberdeen though not terribly seriously. I think Rangers did better in their niar than they did in ours so I conclude that Rangers’ niar has more merit than theirs. No bias or anything like that.

Wasn't around for their 9-in-a-row so can't really comment.

 

During ours we were challenged by mostly Aberdeen including 91 where we had to defeat them in the last game of the season to clinch 3 in a row. 

 

What I'd say is I was disappointed that we didn't get 10. This could have been achieved if Terry Butcher hadn't broken his leg 1987/88 season when we finished a disappointing third. 

 

Also, we should never had lost the league when going for 10. Maybe it was Walter saying he'd be stepping down, maybe it was Walter player some of the older players, maybe it was the injury to Negri but still annoys me that we didn't win 10.
