Goal Statistics

Celtic have been steady in attack of late, scoring in 7 consecutive Premiership games. Their PG of 1.8 against Heart of Midlothian on Sunday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Celtic's defensive record is to be admired, M. O'Neill's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive Premiership outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Heart of Midlothian makes sense in this context.
