Celtic will come within one of matching Rangers' all-time trophy haul if they complete a treble this season after their League Cup success.

The Hoops celebrated another trophy triumph at the weekend when they defeated Rangers to win their 21st League Cup Final at Hampden.

It took their total trophies haul to 114 in Celtic's 135-year-history...three behind Rangers' 117.

Celtic have also won 52 league titles, 40 Scottish Cups and famously, a European Cup in 1967.

They are now only narrowly behind Rangers and the gap will be reduced to just one if Ange Postecoglou's side completes a treble this season, with the Parkhead side currently nine points clear of their Glasgow rivals in the title race.

Rangers have won 55 top-flight titles, 34 Scottish Cups, 27 League Cup and the 1972 European Cup-Winners Cup in their 151 years of history.
Celtic's win also edged them ahead in Old Firm League Cup wins - they are ahead 25-24 now.

The world's most successful football club is recognised as Cairo giants Al Ahly, who have won 121 trophies. including 42 Egyptian league titles, 50 Egyptian Cups Super Cups and 29 continental trophies.

In between the Old Firm are Uruguayan club Nacional with 116 trophies.

Meanwhile, Cameron Carter-Vickers has spoken about Kyogo Furuhashi’s “special” goalscoring abilities as the Celtic striker basks again in the glory of a Viaplay Cup final double at Hampden Park.

The 28-year-old Japan international notched twice from close range against Rangers on Sunday to help Ange Postecoglou’s men retain the trophy with Alfredo Morelos’ response for the Light Blues proving only to be a consolation.

Furuhashi, who has firmly established himself as a fans’ favourite since signing from Vissel Kobe in 2021, also scored twice when Celtic beat Hibernian in last season’s final and the repeat performance came as little surprise to Carter-Vickers.

The Parkhead centre-back has a regular close-up view of the tireless Hoops forward, who now has 24 goals in all competitions this season, and in assessing his talents, Carter-Vickers said: “He is always in the right spot at the right time and he seems to score so many tap-ins like that.

“But it’s something that he works on and it is something that he has which is quite special.

“I train against him every day and I am fully aware of his movement and how clever he can be and the runs he makes. It is good to play with players like that.”
