The first Celtic championship came in 1957 and they went on to win in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 00's. The 90's were a lost decade and I've made peace with that. But this year is their last chance to win one in the 10's before they set themselves up to win one in the 20'.

Excellent point.

Although if they own the 2020s the way they did the 1960s that would be OK too.

Well, this would be more pressing if the team had not skipped the 90's.  Since they did, not as important. 

But I'm with the others.  I want them to win just because.
