Scott Brown’s departure from Celtic at the end of the season will bring down the curtain on an era.
During Scott’s time at the club, he and his teammates have won 22 trophies.
It’s been well over a decade of dominance.
As a new era begins this summer, an image popped up of something which took me aback.
It’s the starting XI squad photo of the bhoys during that first treble in what would be an incredible four consecutive treble run.
Thre invincible treble was remarkable. Going a whole domestic season without losing a game in any competition.
The squad photo from that day is below and after Scott Brown’s announcement, we get an idea of how much things have moved on since then.
Gordon left to go back to Hearts and was in goals for the Jambos when Celtic were chasing their fourth treble.
Jozo was released by the club in a panic because of the pandemic shutdown/
Boyata left on a Free to head to Belgium.
Scott Sinclair was sold to Preston where he remains.
Stuart Armstong was sold to Southampton for £8m and is still playing at St Mary’s.
Mikael Lustig and the board couldn’t come to an agreement on a contract extension and he bowed out after the third treble in a row against Hearts.
Scott Brown is off to Aberdeen.
Kieran Tierney is our record breaking export at £25m, paid by his current club Arsenal.
Patrick Roberts is still doing the loan thing and has never settled since leaving Celtic.
You have Griff and McGregor still there. There’s every chance Griff heads off next season leaving just Callum.
Football can change so quickly, it’s a new era indeed. Let’s hope Callum McGregor can help spearhead a new group of Celts.
