Just noticed that sinclair needs to score in 8 consecutive games to equal the record the media talks nonsense saying he had equalled it then broke it.

8 is probably the Scottish record Gordo, 6 is the Celtic record I believe.

Media wrong-McGrory's record is 8.

I know McGrory scored in his first 8 Celtic appearances but am not sure if those were all league games or there were cup games as well. So it is possible the media did not get it wrong and that Sinclair is first to score in his first 6 league games. Perhaps someone can confirm if McGrory's 8 included cup games.

I wasn't there in 1936 RabMac but as far as I'm aware Jimmy McGrory scored in 8 consecutive league matches brother ðŸ€.

According the Jim McGrory's wikipedia page (I know it could be wrong) , McGrory made his Celtic debut against Third Lanark in 1923 and we lost that game 1-0.
This would suggest we all have the stat wrong. I am wondering if the stat relates to scoring in each of the first 8 games of a different season.

RabMac. I think (not sure) the record relates to 8 consecutive opening league matches not necessarily the first 8 or his first games for Celtic. Not sure brother. as like I said. I was 29 years short of being there. Up to be corrected though Rab ðŸ€.

Maybe the record for 6 consecutive goals was debut league games and at any point consecutive is 8.

CHeers JFP, I don't know myself, was hoping someone else could put us right on it though. ;)

RabMac-more importantly let's just hope he can keep the run going and stick one in the pokey on Wednesday night. Would like to see Sinclair doing it for his sake as much as ours against his former club given the impact he's had for Celtic since arriving. No Budgie Barton stuff-he's just produced the goods and said nothing.

Think they might be talking about from when the premier league started. Was it 76 it started getting called the premier league?

Cracking quote JFP 1888 ' no budgie Barton stuff ' I love it and never a truer word spoken really think or at least hope Sinclair keeps sticking them in like the look of the boy early days but certainly doing his talking on the pitch.
The Happy Turnkey.
