The race is now to see how many of us can get to that 100 or more midweek goals and to beat the best midweek score of 136 goals which is currently held by Daryl Nicholls from the 2016/17 Season. TONY KING picked up the most amount of midweek goals with six. They came from his combo of Rangers, West Brom and Wycombe.

WEEKEND RESULTS
We had all but one of our teams in action this weekend and out of the ones that did play, fourteen failed to score any goals. But what a fantastic weekend we had and they don’t come round offend enough. The good news is that our average score over the weekend shot up from four goals from last weekend to 6 goals this weekend. The highest score we had was seven goals and they came from CELTIC. They won 7-0 at home to St Johnstone to score their biggest result of the season. Celtic are now on a total of 96 goals and a goal run of six games. They are now our sixth team to hit seven goals in a game this season.
Celtic became our second most voted Scottish team in our very first season of 1983/83. In that season they finished on a total of 116 goals. Their highest score came in the 2016/17 Season with 134 goals. Celtic have finished with 100 or more goals in nineteen of their seasons. They are just one of four teams that have been in Golden Goals right from the start with the full thirty-nine seasons. Last season they finished on a total of 81 goals. Celtic have score a total of 3793 goals to date and that now gives them an average score of 97 goals per season. They have a total of just nine votes this season.
