April 2017 April 2017 Celtic 1935–36 Willie Maley Celtic Park Scottish First Division 1st Scottish Cup 2nd round 1934–35 1936–37 The 1935–36 Scottish football season was Celtic's 48th season of competitive football, in which they competed in the Scottish First Division and the Scottish Cup. Celtic had not won the league in the previous nine editions, having seen Rangers win the league five and three times in a row, with a championship for Motherwell in between. However, following a first week defeat in Pittodrie, a strong unbeaten run of 18 matches (16 W, 2 D) from mid-August to mid-December, as well as winning the last eleven league matches in a row, saw them win the league, five points clear of both Rangers and Aberdeen. It was Celtic's 18th league title, as well as their 32nd major domestic honour. In the Scottish Cup, they lost in the second round 1-2 to St. Johnstone.
