Celtic and Rangers battle for place among world pass masters as Manchester City record staggering figures

Celtic Rangers Manchester City CIES CIES Football Observatory Premiership Football Ajax Bayern Munich Liverpool

Celtic and Rangers have been named among world football's top passing teams.

Data from the CIES Football Observatory reveals which sides are a cut above the rest when it comes to attempting the most passes-per-game in domestic matches so far this season. Unsurprisingly, Premier League champions Manchester City lead the way with an mind boggling 755 per 90 minutes at a success rate of 90.8 per cent, followed by Japanese second-tier side Albirex Niigata.

The top 10 features plenty of the sides you'd expect - Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Ajax are all in the mix. Celtic just edge out Rangers, with the Glasgow rivals coming in at 12th and 13th, respectively. Interestingly, both clubs average 655 passes per 90 minutes but Ange Postecoglou's side are ranked one place higher thanks to their higher accuracy. There's not much in it, mind you.

It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
