Celtic played the 2000–01 season in the Scottish Premier League. Martin O'Neill became manager and Celtic won a domestic treble of the three major Scottish trophies: the Scottish League Cup,[1] the Scottish Premier League trophy[2] and the Scottish Cup.[3]
Review and events[edit]
Management[edit]
Following the departure of John Barnes in February 2000,[4] Martin O'Neill was appointed as manager of Celtic in June 2000.[5] Kenny Dalglish, who was director of football at Celtic, left the club soon after.[6] John Robertson and Steve Walford followed O'Neill from Leicester City to be assistant manager and coach.[7]
Transfers[edit]
O'Neill's first signing was striker Chris Sutton from Chelsea for a Scottish record transfer of £6 million in July 2000,[8] followed by Belgian international defender Joos Valgaeren from Roda JC for a fee of £3.8 million.[9] Alan Thompson and Didier Agathe joined Celtic in September. Thompson joined from Aston Villa for a fee of £2.75 million while Agathe joined from Hibernian for a nominal fee.[10] Goalkeeper Rab Douglas was brought in from Dundee in October for £1.2 million[11] and Neil Lennon joined in December 2000 from Leicester City for £5.75 million.[12] Mark Viduka was transferred out to Leeds United in July 2000 for a fee of £6 million.[13]
League campaign[edit]
Celtic started their league campaign by going undefeated in 16 games until a heavy defeat to Rangers in November 2000. They lost only two more games, both in May after the league title had been secured. They won the Scottish Premier League with a victory over St Mirren in April,[14] receiving the trophy two weeks later after a 1–0 home win over Hearts,[2] having finished 15 points clear of the runner-up, Rangers, with 97 points.[15]
Striker Henrik Larsson scored 53 goals to set a new Scottish scoring record for a single season.[16]
Key games were:[17]
- Dundee United 1-2 Celtic (30 July) - The opening game of the season which set the standard for the rest of the season
- Celtic 6-2 Rangers (27 August) - The biggest win over rivals Rangers since the Scottish League Cup Final in 1957
- Aberdeen 1-1 Celtic (1 October) - An eight-match winning start to the season ended at Aberdeen but a late equaliser secured a point for Celtic
- Hibernian 0-0 Celtic (29 November) - Celtic ground out a draw after a heavy defeat to Rangers the previous week threatened to derail their season
- Dundee 1-2 Celtic (10 December) - Celtic snatched all the points with a last minute winner despite being out-played for much of the match
- Celtic 1-0 Rangers (11 February) - A narrow win for Celtic was enough to prevent Rangers from resurrecting their title challenge
- Rangers 0-3 Celtic (29 April) - Celtic's first win at Ibrox for six and a half years
Cup competitions[edit]
Celtic beat Raith Rovers, Hearts and Rangers on the way to the Scottish League Cup final at Hampden Park in March 2001. They won the trophy, beating Kilmarnock 3-0 through a second-half hat-trick by Henrik Larsson despite going down to ten men after Chris Sutton was sent off.[1]
In the Scottish Cup, Celtic beat Stranraer, Dunfermline after a replay, Hearts and Dundee United to reach the final in May 2001, where they beat Hibernian 3–0 with a goal from Jackie McNamara and two goals from Henrik Larsson to complete a domestic treble.[3]
European campaign[edit]
Celtic had qualified for the UEFA Cup and began their campaign with an 11-0 aggregate win over Jeunesse Esch from Luxembourg in August 2000.[18] A Chris Sutton goal in extra-time in the away leg was enough to see Celtic through the next round 3–2 on aggregate against HJK Helsinki the following month.[19] They were knocked out in the third round of the competition by Girondins de Bordeaux 2–3 on aggregate despite dominating the second leg in Bordeaux.[20]

- ^ As both finalists of the 2000–01 Scottish Cup, Celtic and Hibernian, qualified for European competition via their league position, the cup berth for 2001–02 UEFA Cup was passed to the next-placed team in the league, fourth-placed Kilmarnock.
