The 1916–17 Scottish football season was Celtic's 29th season of competitive football, in which they competed in the Scottish First Division.[1] They won the league for the 4th year in a row, by ten points over nearest rival Morton.
The Scottish Cup, which Celtic held as champions, was suspended for the third season in a row because of World War I.
Celtic successfully defended their Glasgow Cup and Glasgow Merchants' Charity Cup trophies as well as the League.
