Ange Postecoglou is challenging his relentless Celtic team to become record-breakers.
With eight matches to go in the Scottish Premiership, the Hoops have the chance to set a new points record that would set the bar higher than Brendan Rodgers' Invincibles who didn't lose a match in the 2016/17 season as the Northern Irishman swept to a Treble in his first season.
Rodgers' team won 34 of their 38 matches and drew four - against Rangers, Inverness Caley Thistle, Ross County and Partick Thistle.
Celtic have dropped points in just two games this season with a defeat to St Mirren and a draw at Ibrox in January. If they manage to win the next eight, it would give them a record of 36 victories, one draw and one defeat meaning they would have taken 109 of 114 points available across the campaign. That would be three more than the 106 Rodgers' team achieved which set a new European record.

Postecoglou said: “It is a remarkable run because there have been some brilliant sides in Scottish football.
“But this team has surpassed those teams in terms of stats this season. Now it’s eight games to go, so there are 24 points we want to get and that’s our target.
“Just as pleasing is the level with good strong performances every week. Credit to the group, and it is the group.
“Everyone chipped in again against Ross County. Guys coming into the team have helped.”
