    Mooy has a good rep with pens, free kicks and corner kicks.

    Personally I reckon full backs rock on penalty kicks. No nonsense, job done, hard and low.

    I hope our players were watching the Wales vs USA game last night.

    That's how you take a penalty. Bale absolutely smashed it right into the top corner. The goalkeeper actually got a decent hand to it, but the power was far too much for him to keep it out.

    I'd much rather see our players do that, instead of this mincy wee jumpy steppy bollocks.

    JJ for pens.

    If he's not on the park then Mooy (to the best of my knowledge) has never missed, but what about Turnbull? And what about McGregor?

    Would probably trust Taylor also.

    Sorry, Calmac is not good at pens. Evidence from last season.

    Jota. Think he's got the self-belief and the bottle. That free kick goal against Real was class.

    All the best PK takers who never miss like Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic take em with power as said above in the thread. I agree that we need to stop passing them in to a corner. Frustrating as *.

    I wasn’t a big fan of Roy Aitken as a defender, but by gosh when he hit a penalty he absolutely hammered it.

    Thought process being if you hit it hard enough, even if the keeper gets a touch, it’s going in. Only way he saves it if it hits his body. Worst case is he saves it, but you’ve hurt him!

    Fun fact, they 2 players are in the top 5 for most penalties missed ever, Ronaldo 2nd highest with 29 missed, Zlatan 4th with 17.

    Messi is top with 30, Totti 3rd with 18, Antonio Di Natale 5th with 14 missed…

    Think they have taken every single one though for the teams they play in mate.
