How many penalties have Hibs and Hearts conceded in comparison to Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen & rivals? - gallery

The arrival of VAR to Scottish football this season has promoted ever more discussion and debate about bid decisions, including the awarding of penalty kicks.

Hearts conceded a late penalty against Ross County on Saturday, moving them up the table, while Hibs gave away their latest spot kick a couple of weeks ago against Dundee United at Tannadice.

The stats shows that there have been 78 spot kicks conceded in the Scottish Premiership this season, 61 of them since VAR came into play in October. There’s a big difference between the teams who have been penalised the most inside the penalty area and the one side who have yet to concede a spot kick in the league all season in the 33 games played so far.

With five post-split rounds still to go, here are all 12 Scottish Premiership clubs ranked from highest to lowest in terms of penalties conceded in the 2022/23 season so far:
