Celtic vs Stuttgart Draw Reaction, Utrecht Review & The "Z-Score" Foul Anomaly Explained
Friday, 30 January, 2026

In this episode of Extra Time, we react to the "difficult" Europa League draw against Stuttgart and the "voodoo doll" victory over Utrecht. But the real story is in the data: Alan unveils the "Lucky Leprechaun League," revealing that Hearts are benefiting from a statistically "incredible" amount of luck (nearly a goal a game) while Celtic suffer at the bottom. We also dive into the "Pick Your Poison" debate—comparing the variance of Rodgers, O'Neill, and Nancy—before Alan drops a bombshell statistical analysis on Celtic's "Z-Score" for fouls conceded, suggesting a refereeing anomaly that "cannot be explained" by normal football logic.
