The two Celtic records Ange could shatter as boss closes in on unprecedented Premiership bragging rights haul

For any team to drop points in just two of their 30 league games is the stuff of dreams. For Celtic and Ange Postecoglou, that has become a reality.

The Hoops boss initially struggled in his first few games in his inaugural season, losing three of his opening six Scottish Premiership games in charge whilst Rangers took the early advantage in the title race. Yet, following their 1-0 loss against Livingston on gameweek six until the end of the season, Celtic didn't end up on the losing side at all. Six draws and 26 wins in 32 games saw them reclaim the league title from their Govan-based neighbours, and Postecoglou set the precedent going into the current season.

One hundred and six has been the points tally to beat for six years now. Some thought it would never be eclipsed while others marvelled at Brendan Rodgers' excellence as Celtic stayed unbeaten for the entire campaign. And, even though the Hoops cannot go unbeaten this time around after the 2-0 loss to St Mirren back in September, there are still two more records to be broken.
