Hold my beer.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Celtic achieved Scottish footballing immortality. A nerve-shredding shootout victory over Hearts in the Scottish Cup final lifted Neil Lennons side to the quadruple-treble.<\/p>\n
A perfect dozen. 12 competitions, 12 wins. An unprecedented feat or so Celtic thought.<\/p>\n
After seeing off Hearts in the Hampden Park decider, the Hoops tweeted: A world first. The #QuadrupleTreble winners, Celtic Football Club.<\/p>\n
However, Gibraltar side Lincoln Red Imps took exception to the second and third word of that tweet.<\/p>\n
Responding to Celtics tweet, the minnows said: Hold my beer. The #QuintupleTreble 2003\/04, 2004\/05, 2005\/06, 2006\/07 and 2007\/08.<\/p>\n
Lincoln won the Gibraltar Football League, the Rock Cup and the Gibraltar League Senior Cup every year between 2004 and 2008.<\/p>\n
However, prior to 2014, Gibraltar was not recognised as an official Uefa nation.<\/p>\n
Of course, this is not the first time the Red Imps have been a thorn in Celtics side. In 2016, they produced one of the greatest shocks in recent history by beating the Scottish Premiership champions in their Champions League qualifier.<\/p>\n
The result marked a humiliating start to Brendan Rodgers reign as Celtic boss. The Glasgow giants did bounce back, however, running out 3-0 winners in the return leg at home to progress to the next qualifying round.<\/p>\n
Speaking after Celtics win over Hearts, Martin ONeill who managed Lennon at Celtic said he was delighted for his former player.<\/p>\n
Im delighted for him, ONeill told BBC Scotland.<\/p>\n
Hes taken a lot of stick in recent months, I think its really uncalled for as well because we are witnessing the 12th successive domestic trophy which hes been a large part of in many aspects.<\/p>\n
I really cant believe it. It saddens me to think of him under that kind of pressure. Its not respite for him anymore; its a great evening for them.<\/p>\n
