@Pud argued that Celtic were not an outlier, the above data suggests that Celtic, aided and abetted by bhoyhood Celtic fans running SFA referreeing and employing bhoyhood Celtic fans as refs and linesthems would suggest otherwise.

Average league possession

Celtic 74%
Liverpool 57%
Bayern 64%
Napoli 55%
Sporting Club 60%
Barcelona 66%

Celtic average possession 70%
Dundee average possession 45%

Celtic foul count 345
Dundee 365

Dundee average half a foul more per game than Celtic, but get twice as many bookings per fouls, despite having ~50% less possession on average than Celtic.

Of course, if we say that fouls are committed out of possession, and Celtic are out of possession 30mins per game, and Dundee are out of possession 50mins per game, then that means that Celtic are committing a foul every 3 minutes out of possession, whereas Dundee are committing a foul every 5min 9 sec out of possession, yet are receiving twice as many bookings.

Doid me this?

Sure

Dundee Utd are committing more fouls in their own half that could have lead to goal scoring opportunities with full contact tackles

Celtic are mostly breaking up counter attacks in the opposition area with soft pushes and bumps
