The 1925–26 Scottish football season was Celtic's 38th season of competitive football, in which they competed in the Scottish First Division[1] and the Scottish Cup.
In the league, Celtic showed great form at Celtic Park, being the only team not to lose a single game at home (15 wins and 4 draws). This, paired with a strong away form (10 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses) allowed them to win the league eight points clear of both third placed Hearts and second placed Airdrieonians, who ended runners-up for the fourth season in a row.
This was Celtic's 17th league trophy, as well as their 28th major national honour, both Scottish records at the time. It would be the last time Celtic won the league until 1936, a nine-season dry spell.
However, the club narrowly missed on what would have been their fourth League and Cup double as they lost the Scottish Cup final 2-0 to St. Mirren, who won their first ever major honour.
