Decade of Dominance   
CELTIC have officially been declared as the most successful club in the 
10-year history of the SPL.

Since the inception of the new league set-up in season 1998/99, Celtic have 
lifted the SPL title on no fewer than six occasions, with Martin O'Neill and 
Gordon Strachan guiding the Hoops to three championships each.

In addition, Celtic have twice lost out on the title on the final day of the 
league season, in 2002/03 and 2004/05, by the narrowest of margins.

Official statistics released by the league show that Celtic have played 376 
games in the SPL, winning 280 of those fixtures and amassing a total of 891 
points.

Rangers trail in second place, with 256 wins from 376 games. Hearts are 
third on the all-time list with 156 wins from 376 games.

Celtic are also the highest-scoring team in the history of the SPL. The 
Hoops have found the net an impressive 888 times in 10 years. Rangers have 
scored 799 goals.

The Hoops have also conceded the least amount of goals, 303, in the last 10 
years. Rangers have let in 305 goals. Hearts have conceded 450 times.

Former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson is the top scorer in the history of the 
SPL with 158 goals. John Hartson bagged a total of 88 SPL goals, Scott 
McDonald has 67 strikes to his name, while Chris Sutton (63), Derek Riordan 
(59) and Stilian Petrov (55) also feature in the top 10 list of scorers.

Larsson scored a staggering 12 SPL hat-tricks for Celtic and topped the 
scoring charts in five of the last 10 seasons. Mark Viduka, Hartson and 
McDonald have also finished as the top scorer in the SPL over the last 
decade.

In terms of individual honours, Celtic stars, past and present, dominate the 
Player of the Year awards over the last 10 years.

Larsson (twice), Viduka, Sutton, Hartson, Shaun Maloney, Shunsuke Nakamura 
and Aiden McGeady have all been named as the SPFA Player of the Year, while 
Larsson (twice), Paul Lambert, Jackie McNamara, Hartson and Nakamura were 
named as Player of the Year by the Scottish Football Writers.

Celtic also hold the records for most points won in a season – 103 in 
2001/02 – and most goals scored in a season – 105 in 2003/04. Overall, it 
has been a decade of dominance.

Nae bother. It's certainly a Pravdaesque article but there's little 
arguement about Celtic's recent success...
