Even saying 'treble treble' aloud has the pneumatic sound of a post being driven into the earth with a sign carrying, 'No Trespassing!'. For instance, I can go back to the first Celtic game I commentated on, 27 February 1965. Celtic bring home the European Cup in 1967The clean sweep in 1967 led to nine years of domination despite determined bids to unseat them, from clubs which were actually getting stronger, not weaker. Demanding a departure from traditionThis was no jaundiced post-match grouch but a sober analysis of the state of the Scottish game. His domestic treble in season 2000/2001 and in five seasons winning three League titles, three Scottish Cups and a League Cup place him very near the Stein pedestal.
