Celtics Scottish Premier League

Celtic Football Club also holds the record for the most points scored in a premier league season. This record stands at 72 points in the 1987/88 season, although it must be remembered that this was when a team only scored two points for a win. The scoring system changed towards the end of the 1990’s, and teams were awarded three pouts for each game they won. Yet again it is Celtic Football Club who holds the record for the most points scored in a Premier league season (using the new scoring system). This record stands at 103 points, which they attained in the 2001/02 season.
