The penalty stat that will stun every Celtic fan

If anything, the weekends VAR controversy has highlighted one thing.

Celtic do not get awarded penalties. Ever.

I think I’m right in saying that the last penalty we had was against Motherwell back in April in the 7-0 rout at Celtic Park.

And since then? Nada. Nothing. Zilch.

Number of Scottish Premiership games each top flight club has played since they last had a penalty.

0 – Hearts
2 – Rangers
3 – Aberdeen
3 – Dundee Utd
3 – Livingston
4 – Hibernian
5 – Motherwell
6 – St Johnstone
8 – St Mirren
12 – Kilmarnock
16 – Celtic
17 – Ross County

But as the adage goes, these things even themselves out over a season. Right?

Even Ange Postecoglou is on record as saying we haven’t had one all season and when you look at the attacking intent and stats of this team, that is quite incredible.
