Previewing the Cup final between Aberdeen and The rangers for ViaPlay, Celtic legend Scott Brown expressed his astonishment upon learning the latest penalty statistics involving his former foes.
Brown, who was well-known across the city for his candid and frequently funny assessments of the mob, responded with a mix of shock and laughter.
Brown responded with a mixture of humor and incredulity when he was told that it had been 23 months and 71 games since Rangers had last let up a penalty in a league game, during which he had played for Aberdeen. “Is that the last penalty they gave up?” RecordSport cited. “I’ve been retired for that long… since their last league penalty against them!” That’s amazing, isn’t it? It’s encouraging that VAR is performing well. Brown spoke in an ironic tone.
On November 5, 2023, at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland, Heart of Midlothian and Rangers are playing in the Scottish Viaplay Cup Football Semi Final. Referee Nick Walsh signals for a penalty after a VAR check.
The relevant statistics date back to a league game at Pittodrie in January 2022, where Lewis Ferguson of Aberdeen scored in a 1-1 draw with Rangers. Brown was still a player for the Dons at the time, but he has since hung up his boots and taken on a managerial position.
In response to a question regarding Aberdeen’s prospects of receiving a penalty in their next Sunday match, Brown gave a clear and concise response: “None.” With those statistics, I don’t think Aberdeen will be penalized! Whoa. This statement emphasizes how unlikely the situation seems to be, considering how long it has been since The Rangers were penalized in a league game.
A statistical anomaly that many in our game don’t want to investigate is highlighted by Scott Brown’s remarks. People that do so are ridiculed and labeled as paranoid. It is essential to listen to Graham Spiers’ most recent podcast if you wish to read more and understand more about the “anomaly.” Despite being behind a pay wall, though.
