Rangers fought back from a two-goal half-time deficit to draw 3-3 with Celtic as the cinch Premiership title race exploded at Ibrox.
Hoops attacker Daizen Maeda gave the visitors a stunning lead after just 21 seconds which rocked the home side. The nervy Light Blues fell further behind in the 34th minute when midfielder Matt O’Riley coolly converted a penalty after a VAR intervention.
Rangers improved after the break and skipper James Tavernier scored from the spot in the 55th minute before striker Cyriel Dessers had the ball in the net two minutes later only for an earlier infringement to rule out a goal. Substitute Abdallah Sima levelled in the 86th minute but a minute later Hoops substitute Adam Idah drove in for what looked like a dramatic winner only for Rangers replacement Rabbi Matondo to level in added time for a share of the spoils which left Celtic one point ahead at the top.
Rangers have a game in hand against Dundee on Wednesday but have still to go to Celtic Park after the split with more twists likely.
Here are the player ratings from Ibrox ...
13. Tom Lawrence (Rangers)
Preferred to Todd Cantwell in midfield, the Welshman failed to have a significant impact until after the break - and even then, it was his foul on Tomoki Iwata that resulted in Rangers' 'equaliser' being chalked off. Worked hard but unable to influence the match. 5 Photo: Stu Forster
14. Reo Hatate (Celtic)
The Japanese midfielder was one of Celtic's better players in the first half and came close to scoring with a vicious drive. Pace and intensity of the game grew in the second period and given his recent return from injury, he was replaced after 65 minutes by Callum McGregor. 6 Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
15. Tomoki Iwata (Celtic)
Iwata was asked to be the protector in Celtic's midfield and he did that largely well. His presence allowed Reo Hatate and Matt O'Riley to spill forward. Slightly overrun when Rangers became much more prominent as the game wore on. 6 Photo: Andrew Milligan
16. Matt O'Riley (Celtic)
Nearly scored with a good header before netting coolly from the penalty spot - his panenka-like chip showing admirable courage given the occasion. A Rangers fan threw a bottle of Buckfast at him for his troubles. Full of guile in the first half, the remainder of the match ran away from him a little. Replaced by Paulo Bernardo on 82 minutes. 7 Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
