Penalties in Old Firm Games

[Trueblue2021]

I was doing some research into penalties in Old Firm Games.

We haven't had a league penalty at Ibrox against Celtic since 2007 and Parkhead since 2010. Last was Alfredo missed on the spot in December 2019 League Cup final.

Do refs really bottle it against giving us anything in the Old Firm games?

I Can’t really remember a game where we should have had a penalty tbh.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

I don’t recall them having too many in all honesty.

I’ll stand corrected obviously.

Just the 4 in one game at the tramphitheatre when they got their shirt pull, soft as shite penalty from Fr Clancy.

 

[RFC80UK]

Is it not about evens between us and them with penalties in our games?

 

[simply_the_best]

The one they were given at Ibrox when McGregor saved from Samaras was laughable in the extreme.

1946/47 - 2021/22

Old Firm League games penalties awarded.

Rangers 35
Celtic 45

Prior to the 2019 LCF the last penalty awarded to us was on 06/02/2011 in a Scottish Cup fixture at Ibrox when Steven Whittaker converted.

Another myth proven to be untrue.

Callum McGregor handball on the line from Candeias (I think?)

 

[simply_the_best]

There was a game posted recently where a certain Rangers goal was saved by a defender, McNally I think, as clear a handball as John Greig in the 73 Cup final and the ref waved play on, think we won 3 1 at the phiggery with Brown scoring.

Aribo jersey pull at Yahooland
McGregor handling at Ibrox

Yeah Stokes am sure it was threw himself into thr Rangers defender then collapsed

 

[Duranman]

Even Davie Provan said it was a ridiculous decision

 

[Walter Sobchak]

He ran into Steven Davis as I recall. Then fell to the ground like a racist, bigoted tramp.

Aribo jersey pull at Yahooland
McGregor handling at Ibrox

I remember Novo should have had a penalty at Parkhead in May 2010. The Celtic player handled the ball in the box.

I'll never forget Clancy penalty award in December 2019 to Celtic for shirt pulling but ignored the same pull at the other end.

That was from a super Ally shot, and a blatantly obvious handball.

 

[Sancus]

I remember Pat Bonnar used to always bless himself before a Rangers penalty kick was taken against him.

I don’t remember him ever saving one.

 

[Souness86]

I don’t recall them having too many in all honesty.

I’ll stand corrected obviously.

They've had at least one a season every year since we came back into the top flight in 2016/17 other than 2018/19.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

I remember Pat Bonnar used to always bless himself before a Rangers penalty kick was taken against him.

I don’t remember him ever saving one.

That used to amuse me as well. I think he may have saved from McCoist in the LCF but then Ally scored the rebound.

That one is up there with the worst every penalty decisions. Massive massive game too.

He saved 2. One v Cammy Fraser and super in the LC final although Ally rattled the rebound past him

We should've had a penalty for an almost identical incident, in that game. Thankfully Katic scored from the resulting corner.

Another myth proven to be untrue.

Another great example of why Rangers should employ a full time professional researcher to gather and present evidence of facts and figures. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. No more bias, double standards and lies.

 

[Charing]

Actually I don't think he did the old blessing routine before that particular penalty.

That's what happens when you mess with Jesus!

 

[BigBadShep]

Feels like they get at least one every season but mcgregor saves it

 

[barrheadbear]

Midweek league game at Scumdome on 4 May 2010, 10 days after we had won thd title at Easter Rd. We lost the game 2-1

IIRC in the second half, with the score 2-1, a Kenny Miller shot was stopped by the raised arms of Darran O'Dea, as clear a penalty as you'll see. I believe as the title was already decided not much was ever made of the incident but for some reason it still annoys me that such a blatant handball could be overlooked.

 

[Swinton Ger]

I'd love us to get 1 in the last minute next week and score it for us to win the game. The fallout would be absolutely superb!

 

[Sancus]

That used to amuse me as well. I think he may have saved from McCoist in the LCF but then Ally scored the rebound.

Ironically he wasn’t particularly bitter off the park in my experience. Used to drink in the Shawlands Hotel and was ok to talk to.

Assume you mean in Glasgow and not Larkhall

 

[Sancus]

Yes, the Glasgow one! He was probably a pal of the owner at the time Sylvester Sweeney.

Red cards would be interesting. Been much more of an issue in recent years.

Who takes it but lol?

 

[Angrybluebear]

There has been quite a few, the first game against them at Ibrox 2017/18 season.

Morelos was quite clearly taken out by Simunovic, Craig Thomson bottled it.

There was around 4 shirt pulls against us in the Clancy shame game at the Piggery. If you give one you have to give them all.

The only difference was we scored from the resultant corner kick in 2019

 

[Ferrybear73]

Yeah, Stokes made sure he ran into Steve Davis. Never a pen, justice done with the McGregor save though.

Sorry it was Kenny Miller and yes i remember it was O'Dea.

In that time Celtic have won the title 31 times and we have won it 28 times (4 years we were out of the top flight) so deducting there 4 is 27 and yet they have dominated penalties in that time.

 

[JCB64]

Callum McGregor handball on the line from Candeias (I think?)

Aribo shirt pull Dec 2019?

Red cards would be interesting. Been much more of an issue in recent years.

Same time period 1946/47 - 2021/22

Domestic Red Cards Rangers 178 Celtic 140
League Red Cards Rangers 141 Celtic 111
Old Firm Red Cards Rangers 42 Celtic 35

Should have had another 2 in the cup final Brown with Morelos in the box and then another after Alfie missed think it might have been with Mcgregor again was a clear penalty not given.

The 2 footer by Christie on Goldson in Clancy's shame game but he gave the foul against Goldson.

You're good at this!

 

[tazzabear]

How about when Morelos went over the outstretched leg of their centre back at Ibrox?
Aribo being held in the Katic winner game.
Same game as Clancy penalised Katic in.

Does the domestic and league include the 4 years we weren't in the top flight?

Watch the game at the piggery with Cardinal Clancy
We should have had 3 or 4 for the same reason he gave his team one……in one of the incidents there was only two players in the box and Morelos was having his shirt blatantly pulled

 

[Puggy]

Brother Madden will give us one next week

the one on aribo just before we scored summed up scottish football. Sky for once showed a replay hoping to show it wasnt a corner however instead it showed aribo getting his jersey pulled by christie, silence by the commentators on sky.

 

[Alex Venters]

Cammy Fraser missed one at Parkhead. Think Bonner was in goal.

 

[Jjbscotty]

In the last 50 old firms dating back to 2008 Celtic penalties 12 Rangers 3


Miller at Parkhead
Whittaker at Ibrox
Morelos at Hampden
