During the 1907–08 Scottish football season, their 20th season of competitive football, Celtic competed in the Scottish First Division.
Under long-time manager Willie Maley, Celtic won the league for the fourth time in a row, a record at the time, en route what would be a total of six-in-a-row. The title was clinched with a 1-0 win against Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on 25 April, marking the first time that Celtic had secured a league title by earning a result at the ground of their fierce rivals and still the only time that they have done so with a win there.
They also won the Scottish Cup, achieving a League and Cup double for the second consecutive season. No Scottish team would achieve two consecutive League and Cup doubles until Rangers matched that feat for the first time in 1935. This 'Double Double' record would stand unsurpassed until 2019, when Celtic achieved their 'Treble Treble', en route to their 2019-20 'Quadruple Treble' of four consecutive domestic trebles of League, Cup and League Cup.
With the two major honours the club won this season, their total haul raised to 14 (8 league titles and 6 Scottish Cups).
