As the 2022/23 season draws to a close in the next few weeks, it has been another campaign full of disciplinary drama following the introduction of VAR technology in the Scottish Premiership.
Scottish football’s top-flight has always made for a great spectacle over the years. Renowned for its physicality and being very competitive, few players will shirk a challenge and other are willing to put their bodies on the line for their team.
However, as the following list proves, this doesn’t necessarily mean it is always the tough-tackling players who receive the most red and yellow cards. Seven current and former Celtic and Rangers players are included.
Using data compiled by Transfermarkt, we take a look at which players have racked up the most disciplinary offences spanning back to season 1999/2000. The points total breakdown is based on yellow cards count (1 point), a second yellow card (3 points) and a red card (5 points).
