Season Review
Start of the season (June 2017):
SFA President Alan McRae: “It was a fantastic achievement [for Celtic] to come through both cups and the league undefeated – it was amazing. But I hope it won’t happen again next season because we’ve got to have challengers. They’ll know you need to have other people challenging otherwise it will get boring and dreary. We definitely need a good, strong Rangers."
