Last season, I introduced weekly pre-match and post-match Stats Packs covering all four SPFL divisions. Like almost every article on the website, they were available exclusively to paid subscribers.
The Stats Packs will continue this season as a subscriber-only feature. You can view the first pre-match Stats Pack of the season here; it was published on Friday.
Improvements to the post-match Stats Pack this season will include:
Stats pack will no longer be purely text, and will now consist of at least 21 graphics - one for each match across the SPFL.
A goal of the week poll will be added, with football analyst Josh Duncan selecting four of the best goals from across the SPFL
Weekly graphics showing the SPFL’s 10 longest current unbeaten and winless league runs.
A Feature of the Week - highlighting one of the most notable statistics or sequences from across the SPFL.

Which of the following four SPFL goals was your favourite from the opening weekend?
Goal 1: Thelo Aasgaard Vs Dundee United
Goal 2: Ibrahim Said Vs Hibernian
Goal 3: Robbie Muirhead Vs Queen’s Park
Goal 4: Stuart Bannigan Vs Montrose
Undefeated and Winless Streaks
Inverness CT now lead the SPFL undefeated table with a 19-match unbeaten league run. St Johnstone and Partick Thistle are close behind on 15. Celtic have won eight consecutive league matches, including the final seven of last season as they secured the title in the closing minutes of the campaign.
Top 10 current SPFL undefeated streaks (league matches only, includes last season):
Greenock Morton, Peterhead and Montrose share the SPFL’s longest current winless league run, with each club having gone six matches without a victory.
Dundee United are five league matches without a win following their poor end to last season. However, their draw with Rangers at Tannadice extended their unbeaten top-flight home run to eight matches.

Opening Day Record
The next two graphics show the 10 clubs with the longest current unbeaten opening-day runs and the 10 with the longest current opening-day winless runs.
Each graphic shows the club’s current sequence alongside its all-time best or worst record. Celtic share the longest active unbeaten opening-day run, having won their first league match in each of the past five seasons. Their club record is 21 consecutive league openers without defeat, a sequence ended by Hearts in 2021/22. It’s also six years since either of Motherwell or Dundee United were beaten in the first league game of the campaign.
At the other end, Dundee have the longest current opening-day winless run among the 42 SPFL clubs. Their 10 consecutive seasons without winning their first league match is also their club record.
Feature of the Week:
Hearts concede twice in 5 minutes
Hearts could set an unwanted Scottish record against Benfica on Thursday.
