Alan Stubbs has claimed that Celtic’s treble-treble triumph is seemingly ‘bigger than’ winning 10 Scottish Premiership titles in a row.

The Bhoys made history on Saturday afternoon when they beat Hearts 2-1 at Hampden Park to win the Scottish Cup and write their name into the history books.

For the third season in a row, the Glasgow club have dominated in Scotland, with the domination starting with the now departed Brendan Rodgers and ending with Neil Lennon.

Speaking to Sportscene on BBC One Scotland (25/05/2019 at 10:40 pm), Stubbs believes Celtic’s recent success may never be matched or achieved again.

On the magnitude of winning the treble treble: “I think you have to look at as in is it bigger than potentially 10-in-a-row?” Stubbs questioned on Sportscene.

“We have spoken about how big 10-in-a-row is and each club trying to do it. But I don’t think anyone could potentially do a treble treble again, that’s how big it is.

“It’s a fantastic achievement and I have heard a few people say it, ‘I don’t think we’ll ever see it again’ and that tells you just how big it is.”

Despite such success in recent seasons, the test will be even tougher for the club next term because they have a lot of work to do in the summer transfer market.

Added with that, their rivals will be hot on their heels and hoping to end their dominance as the Parkhead club aim to make it nine title wins in a row.
