Brendan Rodgers Equals Celtic’s Invincibles Record with Tenth Consecutive Away Win
Celtic’s 1-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie has not only extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table but also seen Brendan Rodgers equal a record set during his first spell at the club. Rodgers’ tenth consecutive away win in the league matches the achievement of his Invincibles team in the 2016/17 season.
The Northern Irishman’s current side has been in imperious form on the road, sweeping aside all opposition in the Scottish Premiership. This latest win at Pittodrie has sent a message to Rangers that if they wish to be considered serious title contenders, they must replicate Celtic’s achievement and beat Jimmy Thelin’s side away from home.
Rodgers’ record-breaking win has sparked comparisons with his Invincibles team, which achieved an unprecedented treble in the 2016/17 season. A review of the two sets of results reveals some impressive similarities, with Celtic’s current side demonstrating a similar level of dominance on the road.
Celtic’s 2016 away wins included notable victories over Rangers, Hearts, and Aberdeen, while their current run has seen them triumph over Rangers, Hibs, Hearts, and Aberdeen. With Rodgers’ side showing no signs of slowing down, it remains to be seen whether they can surpass the achievements of their Invincibles predecessors.
As Celtic continue to set the pace in the Scottish Premiership, Rodgers will be eager to maintain their momentum and secure another title. With his side equaling the Invincibles’ record, the pressure is on to deliver a similarly successful season.
