On this date in 2008,
Big Vennegoor of Hesselink scored an injury time winner against Rangers EBT to win 2-1.
Celtic went on to clinch the title.
On this date 120 years ago,
Celtic beat Holders Rangers in the Scottish Cup Final 2-0.
Rangers went 25 years until another Scottish Cup success.
Celtic Won the Scottish Cup NINE times in that 25 year period.
On this date 110 years ago,
Celtic won a Scottish Cup Final replay against Hibs 4-1.
Hibs had already won the Scottish Cup twice in their history with the last being in 1902.
But Hibs then had to wait another 114 years for another Scottish Cup Final success in 2016.

Buzz, apologies as I'm sure you've previously summarised what I'm about to request. Do you have a compare of pens awarded to Celtic and Rangers from 2016? I'm conscious there may be one or 2 guys from the blue side who read this site and if so, what is their explanation for the figures I'm expecting despite Celtics dominance over the years.

It’s got worse since Celtic beat Sevco 5-0 to clinch 7 in a row.
In the last 6 seasons since Gerrard went to Ibrox,
Sevco have had 95 penalties compared to Celtic being awarded only 69 penalties.
( 27.5% more )
League penalties only in that period,
61 compared to 47 which is 23% more for Sevco.
When Hatate scored a penalty in our 4-2 defeat to Hibs last May,
It was our 1st penalty after the split in 26 games since May 18th 2017 at Firhill.
( no games in the 2019/ 20 season )
Sevco have received 6 pens in that time after the split.

Thanks Buzz. Anyone from the blue side browsing, what's the reason for this established pattern over the years despite Celtics dominance? Not paranoid, I'm ? at the evidence.
