PERTH, Scotland (AP) Celtic set a record Saturday for the longest unbeaten run in British domestic soccer.

The Glasgow club made it 63 games without losing in domestic competition - after beating St. Johnstone 4-0 in the Scottish Premiership - to break its own record that had stood for 100 years.

The run, which began in May 2016 with a 7-0 win over Motherwell, saw Celtic claim a treble - the Scottish league title and both Scottish cup competitions.

Brendan Rodgers' side eclipsed a record set between 1915 and 1917 under the management of Willie Maley.
