In the English Championship, HULL lost 5-0 away to Derby. That is Hull’s second blank score sheet of the season after a total of seven league/cup games played.

Celtic Losing Ground

Golden Goals are still keeping an eye on Celtic this season to see if they can beat last season’s record run of 47 games and 134 goals. That record was to score in all of their league and the two domestic cup competitions without getting a blank score sheet.

Well we have finished week five and Celtic did not have any games last week for the 113 votes that they have this season. By the end of week five last Season, Celtic had played four games and scored a total of 15 goals. This season they have played five games and netted a total of 13 goals. So although they had played a game more than at this stage last season, they are now two goals behind so far to date. Celtic are due to play this Friday night against Hamilton and they will need a very big score to catch up with last season.
