With the Ladbrokes Premiership now in its winter break, Press Association Sport has decided to take a look at some of the season’s key statistics so far.

And the mid-term report card will also back up Hibernian boss Neil Lennon’s complaints after he recently protested about the number of fouls dished out to star midfielder John McGinn and the rest of his squad.
