Hearts fans have been complaining often recently about their side’s inability to stop the opposing scoring from set-piece opportunities. It happened just last weekend – twice! Joe Shaughnessy netted from a corner before Ryan Strain curled in a direct free-kick to leave the visitors having to overcome a two-goal deficit.
However, Hibs themselves haven’t been particularly robust when it’s come to dealing with opposition teams putting balls into their penalty area from set-piece opportunities.
But how do the Capital clubs compared to the rest of the Scottish Premiership? Thanks to statistics compiled by Statsbomb, we’ve ranked them in order.
(Tiebreakers are settled by who has the higher ratio of set-piece goals to total goals conceded.)
