Celtic played fewer home games than any Premiership team this season
Celtic concludes an inconsistent season in the Scottish Premiership, and one of the most striking statistics for analysis concerns the distribution of their matches between home and away games.
In total, the team played 32 matches, but with an unusual peculiarity: only 15 at home and 17 away. This made them the team with the fewest home games and, at the same time, the one that played the most away games throughout the season, a factor that may have directly influenced their inconsistent performance.
A statistic that indirectly harmed Celtic’s season in the Scottish Premiership
Playing more away games usually means losing the competitive advantage provided by fan support and familiarity with the stadium.
For a team like Celtic, historically strong at home, this imbalance may have affected their ability to secure crucial points at decisive moments.
While it is not the only reason for a season below expectations, this statistic offers an interesting perspective on what happened.
Looking ahead, it will be important to assess how these types of factors influence the team’s overall performance, especially in a season where every detail ended up making the difference.
