A 4-0 win against Hearts on Sunday extended Celtic's unbeaten run to 27 domestic games, breaking the Lisbon Lions' 50-year-old record.

Celtic broke a 50-year-old club record with a 4-0 thrashing of Hearts in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park on Sunday.

Brendan Rodgers' side are now unbeaten in their last 27 domestic games, surpassing the 26-match record set by the fabled Lisbon Lions' side in the 1966-67 season.

That was the campaign in which Celtic won the European Cup by beating Inter 2-1 in the Portuguese capital.

The current team have racked up 17 straight league wins with Callum McGregor opening the scoring against Hearts and Scott Sinclair netting twice, while on-loan midfielder Patrick Roberts was also on target for the champions.
