On 21 May 2017, Celtic's title winning points margin of 30 points was also the second largest points gap ever between first and second place in top flight leagues across Europe (only bettered by PSG who won Ligue 1 by 31 points in 2015–16).{{cite web | url=https://www.uefa.com/news/0253-0d7db9780541-84f28a0423aa-1000--europe-s-biggest-title-winning-points-margins/ | title=Europe's biggest title-winning points margins | publisher=UEFA | date=21 May 2017 | access-date=8 June 2017 | archive-date=8 June 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170608184856/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2345759.html | url-status=live }} Celtic's total of 106 points accumulated in the league is a European record for top flight league (Barry Town of Wales in 1996–97 reached 105 points).
On 27 May 2017, Celtic won 2–1 against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park, with the Celtic goals coming from Stuart Armstrong and Tom Rogic. The result meant that the team completed the domestic treble for the fourth time in the club's history and finished a 47 match domestic season without losing a match.{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39984102 | title=Celtic 2–1 Aberdeen | publisher=BBC | date=27 May 2017 | access-date=30 May 2017 | archive-date=11 October 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191011193111/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39984102 | url-status=live }}{{cite web | url=http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/season-201617-in-numbers/ | title=Season 2016/17 in numbers | publisher=SPFL | date=29 May 2017 | access-date=30 May 2017 | archive-date=7 August 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170807071051/https://spfl.co.uk/news/article/season-201617-in-numbers/ | url-status=live }}

Celtic preceded the 2016–17 campaign with a pre-season tour of Slovenia, with matches against Celje, Olimpija Ljubljana and Maribor. The Hoops also made a short trip over the Slovenia–Austria border to face Sturm Graz, in preparation for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Brendan Rodgers' side also faced Wolfsburg, Leicester City, Barcelona and Inter Milan in a busy pre-season schedule. Celtic's first warm-up match ended in a 2–2 draw with Celje; Nadir Çiftçi and Tom Rogic scored as Celtic came from behind to avoid defeat. Rodgers recorded his first victory as manager in a 1–0 win over Strum Graz, with Ryan Christie on the scoresheet. Celtic achieved another positive result only days later, this time against Olimpija Ljubljana, with Leigh Griffiths striking twice. A scoreless draw with Maribor rounded off Celtic's preparations before the competitive action began. Celtic's remaining pre-season matches were interspersed with European football. The Bhoys recorded an impressive 2–1 victory over Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in Brendan Rodgers' first match at Celtic Park. This was followed by a draw with Leicester City in Glasgow, and defeats to Barcelona in Dublin and Inter Milan in Limerick.
