SPFL Stats Pack 24th-26th April 2026

The weekly detailed SPFL stats pack - a new feature on the website

Always click through to the website ScottishFootball.info for the most accurate version of any article. Any mistakes that are corrected after publication will only show on the website, rendering the version in your email inbox out of date.

This is the third edition of the weekly SPFL Stats Packs on ScottishFootball.info, and it covers all four divisions. A post-match Stats Pack then comes out at the end of the weekend following the conclusion of the games.

My favourite stat for each fixture will be highlighted with a blue line at the left hand side like this.

In this edition, I am including a “former players” section, which shows which players were previously registered at the opposition. This is limited to the top two tiers as my squad data is currently limited for the lower tiers.

This does not take into account if they are in the match day squad this weekend, only if they are registered at the club. For example Aidan Nesbitt is listed as a former Celtic player but won’t be in the Falkirk squad as he is currently on loan at Arbroath.

The aim is that these stats packs will constantly evolve and improve through subscriber feedback. Please leave any comments detailing what you like or dislike. Of course please also point out any errors, even if just a small typo - I can correct these easily on the website.

If you are not a paying subscriber yet, please consider taking out a 7-day free trial to continue reading, before deciding for yourself if you think £25 per year (or £3.50 per month) is value for money. If it’s not for you, then cancel at any point before the trial ends and won’t pay anything.

• A St. Mirren win means the Buddies are directly responsible for the three earliest relegations in the top flight:

  • Hearts (5th April 2014) were relegated after matchday 33 thanks to a 3-2 St. Mirren win over Motherwell (Hearts suffered a -15 points deduction).

  • Gretna (29th March 2008) were relegated after matchday 31 thanks to a 2-0 St. Mirren win over Gretna (Gretna suffered a -10 points deduction).

• Livingston themselves have been relegated after matchday 35 (Vs Motherwell in 2024) and after matchday 36 (Vs Inverness C.T in 2006) - but never as early as matchday 34.

The earliest top-flight relegations in the Scottish top flight.
