I was able to create this post using his (Chic Sharp/A Horse With No Name) excellent spreadsheet I found on the net.
Penalty Stats:
Of the 10 penalties won last season, Rangers missed more than 50% of them.
4 were scored (Tavernier 2 Defoe Morelos) and SIX missed (Tavernier 3 Arfield Morelos Hagi)
This has happened only twice before in our history.
1934-35: 9 awards, scored 3 (McAuley Smith McPhail) Missed SIX (Smith McPhail Gillick Brown Venters Simpson)
1939-40: 11 awards, scored 5 (Venters 5) Missed SIX (Venters 3 Waddell McPhail Woodburn)
SIX penalties were also missed in season 1939-40 but 7 were converted.
Some more Penalty Stats:
In five consecutive seasons from 1914-15 to 1918-19 Rangers scored with every penalty kick awarded (19).
