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, with post-match stats packs published every Monday morning. You can view the second pre-match Stats Pack of the season here; it was published on Friday morning.
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.
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.
Current Undefeated Streaks
Inverness CT continue to lead the SPFL undefeated table with a 20-match unbeaten league run, spanning two seasons and divisions. Partick Thistle remain second in the list, while St Johnstone’s run of 15 was ended by St. Mirren. Celtic have won nine consecutive league matches, with the Hoops and St. Mirren (4 matches) the only Premiership teams in the list of top 10 unbeaten streaks across the SPFL.
Top 10 current SPFL undefeated streaks (league matches only, includes last season):
Current Winless Streaks
Greenock Morton and Montrose share the SPFL’s longest current winless league run, with each club having gone seven matches without a victory.
Dundee United are six league matches without a win following their poor end to last season, and most recently suffered a 4-0 thumping at Tynecastle.

Feature of the Week:
Hibs win in Glasgow again
David Gray and Hibs made history with yesterday’s last-minute win at Ibrox.
It’s the first time Hibs have ever won there in three consecutive seasons. It’s the second season in a row that a new team has joined this list, after Motherwell achieved their third Ibrox win in three consecutive seasons earlier this year.
And, after wins at Ibrox and Celtic Park on Hibs’ previous two visits to Glasgow, Gray becomes the first manager since 1985, and only the sixth ever, to win three consecutive away visits to Rangers or Celtic.
For Rangers, as they lost to Hibs in their last home game last season, it’s the first time in their history that they have lost consecutive home league games against the same team.
Premiership
Kasper Høgh completed his hat-trick in the 35th minute, Celtic’s earliest-completed league hat-trick since 1988 when Frank McAvennie and Mark McGhee both scored trebles in the 8–0 win at Hamilton on 5th November 1988. McAvennie completed his in the 17th minute and McGhee in the 28th.
In all competitions it was Celtic’s earliest hat-trick since Henrik Larsson’s 30th-minute treble against FK Sūduva in the first round of the UEFA Cup in September 2002.
