Dunfermline Athletic

Against Celtic, Dunfermline's numbers describe a competent side rather than one built to trade blows with an elite opponent. They are relatively strong for their own section in both attack and defence, but Celtic would hold the edge in sheer chance volume, territorial pressure and the ability to turn control into repeated goals. Dunfermline's best route would be the kind of compact, balanced game that has kept them competitive in this league; over 90 minutes, though, Celtic's higher attacking ceiling and greater consistency at both ends would make the difference.

The radar profile paints Dunfermline as one of the division's more balanced teams. Their clearest strength is that they are above average in both scoring and defending, trailing only St Johnstone in each overall category, and their away attacking output is particularly strong for this league. The main weakness is the absence of one standout dominant trait: home scoring is merely mid-pack, and with no meaningful corner data to suggest set-piece pressure, much of their threat appears to depend on open-play efficiency rather than territorial control.

Using 38 players across the season points to heavy turnover, but the starting data shows Dunfermline have still relied on a recognisable core. Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen leading the side with 30 starts indicates there is at least one consistent anchor in the team, even if the wider cast has changed regularly around him. With 46 league goals and Andrew Tod responsible for a significant share, the squad profile looks like one where rotation has been broad but the decisive contributions still come from a relatively small nucleus.
