Celtic won the league for the ninth season in a row, which was then a Scottish record, and has since been equaled by Rangers (1989-1997) and Celtic itself for a second time (2012-2020). Celtic also won the Scottish Cup Final, defeating Dundee United 3-0, and narrowly missed on what would have been the club's third domestic treble as they lost the Scottish League Cup 1–0 to Dundee FC. In European competition, Celtic made it to the semi-finals of the European Cup, where they fell to Spanish champions Atlético de Madrid, 0–2 on aggregate. Previously, they had defeated Finnish champions TPS 9–1 on aggregate, Danish champions Vejle 1–0 on aggregate, and Swiss champions FC Basel 6–5 on aggregate.
