CityDave Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 With Celtic completing the domestic season unbeaten in the league, has any other club done the same? Cups are a bonus and worth a mention as well if the same club has won their league unbeaten. Who are the clubs lower league, non league, Juniors or amateurs down the years who have achieved this? I have experienced this myself in my very first season supporting a football club, Caledonian unbeaten in the Highland League 1982/83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 There have only been 5 unbeaten seasons across the top four divisions of Scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si in 1897/98 Celtic went unbeaten and the following season Rangers won every league fixture. An omen for next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Though the press won't cover it, readers should note that Hearts have also gone a league season unbeaten. Before WWI the SFL season only lasted 18-22 games and usually ended by Christmas, and there were supplementary leagues contested in the remainder of the season... Most prominent of these was the Inter City League - which Hearts won unbeaten in 1901-02. Celtic did the same in the Glasgow League 1898-99: 1898-99 Celtic 8-2-0 GL 1901-02 Hearts 10-2-0 ICL Gala must have been raging . Presuming TheMantis has checked all HL and EOSL then I can add the following for SOSL. However as with the above cases from Victorian times it is notable how brief the season was and I've only included cases where club played at least 10 league games. 1951-2 Wigtown & Bladnoch 8-3-0 SOSL 1961-62 Stranraer 'A' 12-0-0 SOSL 1968-69 Threave Rovers 10-2-0 SOSL 1970-71 St Cuthbert Wanderers 8-2-0 SOSL 1982-83 Stranraer 'A' 17-1-0 SOSL 1985-86 Dalbeattie Star 14-4-0 SOSL Then some other examples from Senior non-league and supplementary football below, applying same 10 league game criteria:Border Amateur Senior League 1902-03 Alnwick Percy Rovers 6-5-0Border League 1903-04 Vale of Leithen 8-3-0Central Combination 1897-98 East Stirlingshire 14-2-0Glasgow & West of Scotland League 1898-99 St Mirren 7-3-0 (second to Morton)Midland League 1892-93 King's Park 12-2-0North Caledonian League 1937-38 Highland Light Infantry 9-1-0 (second to Caledonian 'A') 2009-10 Thurso 15-3-0 2013-14 Halkirk Utd 9-3-0Perthshire League 1897-98 Scone 10-0-0 1907-08 Tulloch 9-1-0Western League 1918-19 Dumbarton Harp 10-4-0 1922-23 Queen of the South 17-3-0Western League Cup - league stage 1917-18 Renton 9-4-0 (lost final to runners-up Dumbarton Harp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
