I have heard on many occasions, people coming out with the old "We get a good result against Rangers or Celtic and then we go out the next again week and lose" line.
After our draw at Ibrox and ahead of our game against Aberdeen this weekend, I have done some research today about how we have done in matches immediately after a good result against Rangers and Celtic (by "good result", I mean either a draw or a win). These stats go back to our first ever season in the SPL, which was 1999/00 and includes league and cup games.
Here are the stats;
WON-12
DRAWN-6
LOST-11
Since our game is at Easter Road this weekend, I've also calculated our results at home following a good result against the OF.
Here are the stats on that;
WON-9
DRAWN-3
LOST-4
So, overall, we are undefeated in more than 60% of our matches following a good result against the Old Firm and we have actually won more matches than we've lost. When it comes to matches at Easter Road, we have won nine out of our sixteen matches that have followed either a draw or a win against Rangers or Celtic and are undefeated in 75% our matches.
I realise that this may be quite boring to a lot of people but I just thought that there might be a few people who may be interested in this kind of stat.
