In a match in Scotland, two teammates used the traditional game to define who took the shot.
Many times, the coaches do not designate a kicker for penalties or free kicks and prefer that the players themselves be the ones who decide among themselves who executes them. Sometimes the decision is made quickly and sometimes not. The latter occurred in Scotland, when two teammates defined through the traditional rock, paper or scissors who kicked a free kick.
It happened in the Scottish Premiership (Scotland’s top flight), when Cammy MacPherson and Graham Carey, from St. Johnstone, decided through a ‘rock, paper or scissors’ who would kick a free kick against Celtic. The curious? At that time, they were down 3-1.
After deliberating through the traditional game, MacPherson won the duel when his paper beat Carey’s stone and he took the free kick. However, the St. Johnstone player prepared himself, stepped back and made the execution, which was unsuccessful and did little to reduce the lead against his rivals. Almost…
To make matters worse, Celtic scored one more late in the game to seal a 4-1 victory. Bad present for St. Johnstone, who is eighth in the standings, with 27 points; contrary to the moment of the Bhoys, who are leaders in the league with 70 units.
