“What is going on at Glasgow Rangers” - A short and quick look at what is happening at Glasgow Rangers ahead of the season starting. Largely focused on the rebuild and the consolidations of power without clear direction at the club. directionoffootball.com/blog/f/what-is…

Seems like an enjoyable night to be in the away end at Morton. 😬

@James_Doohan @ModernFitba @fitbainscotland @CelticFC @LiviFCOfficial 😂 helps*

@TheBackpassRule @ModernFitba @fitbainscotland @CelticFC @LiviFCOfficial Yeah that hemos a lot

So I've been in the #ggplot2 lab, trying something my fellow @ModernFitba-er @fitbainscotland did for us at MF with xG graphs. Instead of the a line graph, Jamie used bar graphs. Trying it out again here. xG bar graphs and shot maps for @CelticFC's 3-0 win at @LiviFCOfficial

I promise not to make the labels shaded like this again.

@James_Doohan @ModernFitba @fitbainscotland @CelticFC @LiviFCOfficial *whispers very quietly* to format the graph going both ways I have to turn the one team’s xG in the graph’s data frame as a negative. The range of the axis is 0 to 1 always though if that hemos.

@TheBackpassRule @ModernFitba @fitbainscotland @CelticFC @LiviFCOfficial Any reason for no y-axis quantities?
