Shots Against

Jon McLaughlin

Rangers have only conceded 20 shots on target in their 14 league games so far this season. That is five fewer than Celtic who have played two games less.

The record defensive stats that Steven Gerrard’s side are posting are, therefore, not simply the result of luck. Their 12 clean sheets have been based on restricting their opponents to very few shots, reducing the likelihood of a goalkeeping error or a long-range strike finding the net.
