4 Goals on Saturday to break the record set by Ange for most goals in a league season

After a lot of moaning at times about side to side possession based football against the fast free flowing attacking football Ange brought in, the fact we can outscore Anges best season is incredible. If we can can score 4 we will outscore Anges second season and we have currently conceded 9 less goals. If we can secure the treble this will go down as one of the best seasons in memory.

 

Rodgers has definitely tweaked something as during his first spell you could fall asleep waiting for the midfield to pass the ball forward, definitely quicker getting the ball to our wingers

 

Currently on 111 League goals with 1 game to play.

• Currently equals the 1966/67 mark, who would go on to win the European Cup - but that was a 34 game season.
• Needs 3 to equal the joint 3rd highest (114 in 1937/38 & 2022/23)
• Needs 4 to equal the 2nd highest (115 in 1935/36)
• Needs 6 to break the all time Celtic record (116 in 1915/16)

• The overall Scottish top flight record is 132 goals in a 34 game season in 1957/58

In all, this is the 13th time Celtic have topped 100 goals. All seasons 38 games & all title winning seasons unless otherwise specified...

And the stats definitely back that up as well, after 106 league goals in that first 'Invincible season, that dropped to 73 in 2017/18 at a rate of 1.9 per game.

 

I was thinking about this last night. Not bad considering the football under Rodgers is “boring” to some fans, whilst the same fans bang on about Ange’s team constantly bombarding the opposition until the last second of every game.

 

The football isn’t boring.

People don’t like Rodgers and can’t hack the fact he came back and will literally use any nonsense to jump on him. I’m convinced the most extreme in here get a genuine kick out of us dropping points, just so they can come on here and rant about him.

Some fans have a very weird, obsessive approach about Ange, too. There was some utter pish I had to sit through and watch under Ange but that gets forgotten about. (I absolutely love the man and want him to be successful wherever he goes)

Rodgers will leave. I reckon next season after he’s served his 3 years and he will have went a long way to repairing a relationship with the majority of the fanbase. It will still never be good enough for a small section, unfortunately.

 

Only need to score another 40 goals in last 2 matches of season to overtake Lisbon Lions European Cup winning season 196 total in all competitions as we are currently on 157 goals in all competitions NOT including penalty shoot out

 

Yep Rodgers will leave again at some point.
There are many will appreciate him only after he's away.
Fact of the matter is rangers aren't getting near us as long as Rodgers is in charge.
They can't match that quality of manager no matter what they do.
People should appreciate that
