‘In other news, Night follows Day’ ‘rain makes you wet’ Evening Times reveals shock Sevco penalty stats!
A study by the football observatory has revealed that Sevco get penalties more frequently than any other club in the SPFL Premiership.
The news is unlikely to come as a surprise to anyone with the slightest interest in the Scottish game although it is newsworthy for the Evening Times.

Five minutes after the final whistle of the 2016 Scottish Cup Final.
Since the start of the 2018/19 season, when Mr Gerrard arrived in Glasgow, the Ibrox club have been awarded one penalty every four matches. Famously in February 2019 Andrew Dallas went overboard with four penalties in the same match against St Mirren.
In contrast Celtic are awarded a penalty every sixth match despite being the dominant force in Scottish football for over 60% of the time covered by the survey.
Rangers : 363 minutes played
Hibernian : 454
Aberdeen : 540
Celtic : 540
St Johnstone : 625
Motherwell : 709
St Mirren : 756
Livingston : 872

Additionally it is now more than two years since a Sevco player was red carded in a domestic game, last year Kemar Roofe, Leon Balogun, John Lundstram and Glen Kamara were sent off in UEFA matches.

Crawford Allan doing what he was put there to do, no reds and most pens since he got the job, stuck his head over the parapet to complain about a Celtic player scoring a goal then never seen again..
