Celtic fans confusion over Parkhead stewarding explained as champions go 733 days since last home defeat

Celtic fans were left a tad confused at the sight of dozens of extra stewards circling the pitch at the final whistle against Livingston the other night.

It turned out the hi-viz jacket crew were just doing a bit of training but certainly there’s no need to beef up security on the field as Ange Postecoglou has turned Parkhead into the most impenetrable fortress in Scottish football. The Aussie has yet to suffer a domestic defeat on home soil since he landed from Japan in the summer of 2021. Chuck in the six games at the tail end of the season Hoops fans have erased from their memory banks and it’s now 37 games without loss for Celts on their own patch.

It was two years ago last week the last time Hoops fans went home from Parkhead with the hump and there was no danger of any bumps on Wednesday when Livingston became the latest side to suffer a sore one in Glasgow’s East End. Greg Taylor knows success is built on having strong foundations at home but as far as the full back is concerned it’s about rewarding supporters regardless of where they are.
