67 Hail Hail highlights that Celtic's domestic statistics counter recent criticism of the team, pointing to significant statistical leads over rivals Rangers following a 7-1 victory against Hearts. According to FotMob data from the opening nine Scottish Premiership matches, Celtic created 48 big chances compared to Rangers' 26, establishing a 22-chance gap.
The figures also show Martin O'Neill's side leading the league with 26.2 expected goals, 9.2 shots on target per match, and 60.2% average possession.
