    Aye hard to argue. Just, after the 90’s that O’Neill Treble was something else. Shock to the system

    Favourite is probably coming from behind to win it 3 in a row under Strachan or the sheer dominance of the Invincible season. Celtic have won 15/23 titles since I was born

    Tannadice for me personally. I was too young to fully appreciate stopping the ten

    I was 7 when we stopped the Old Rangers cheating their way to the tainted 10, but I didn't really appreciate it.

    I regard MON's first title as my first 'proper' title. With it being a Treble season and with Larsson scoring 53 goals, as well as dominating the Huns in the 4 out of 5 games we played them that season, it will always be special to me.

    I'd say my favourite title though is probably 3iar under Strachan. The fact we were down and out in April (we were 8 points behind having played 2 games more than the Klan) but yet Champions by May really was incredible. Probably the greatest comeback (given the short space of time and the significant gap) in the history of Scottish football.

    My favourite season overall? I suppose I can't include 2003 as we didn't win anything, otherwise that would 100% be my favourite season.

    I'd have to go for the Invincible season tbh. That really was a once in a lifetime type of season. Qualifying for the CL against the odds, very good showing against Man City in both games, annihilating the Huns all over the place, especially the two 5-1 games, cracking football, really likeable and exciting squad of players, just feeling like we were never going to drop points at all, then topping it off with a last-minute winner to secure an unbeaten Treble. * unreal.

    I also have a special place for 2006/2007 as we got to the last 16 for the first time and beat Man Utd en route - for someone that grew up in a place that is full of condescending EPL arseholes - mostly Man Utd - that was very satisfying.

    Centenary year or stopping the 10, I can’t choose as both are very special. Also O’Neill coming in winning the treble and smashing those * all over the place was up there.

    JVOH at tannadice for totally non footballing reasons.

    The season before my grandfathers friend couldnt attend matches with him due to illness both were DUFC season ticket holders. My mum asked if I would keep him company at the games. So the season started then we found out my grandad had Alzheimer's so every game at tamnadice i took him to the matches. When the final game came round i couldnt get an away ticket. His entire section knew i was a celtic fan so when JVOH scored I jumped up obly for them to keep me held down so not to get kicked out.

    Why this game means so much to me is its the last game with my grandad before his illness got him. Standing singing celebrating with the celtic fans for him to turn round laugh and say the only thing i like about your lot is the songs

    For sheer excitement this one ^

    For pleasure over an entire season, then the Invincible title takes some beating.

    Loved Lennon's first one as manager at Rugby Park,team ran amok,fans were deafening and the stadium was shaking.Plus I was there and don't get to go to many away games.It was quality seeing Lennon Thommo and Mjallby celebrate with the players on the pitch especially given what had went on the previous season.

    So many great ones I could not chose one ahead of the others but the ones that stand out in my lifetime are 86 and that remarkable turnaround. The 88 centenary double, 98, O Neill's treble in 01 and the invincible treble.
