60 min: Celtic double-substitution: Liel Abada and Aaron Mooy on for James Forrest and Matt O'Riley.

Alistair Johnston chucks the ball to Matt O’Riley, who turns inside Tavernier and gets a cross away. It rolls on to Maeda, who shoots hurriedly over the bar when he had time to take a touch and settle himself. The goal was gifted to them by Rangers, who have forged a few chances of their own. 49 min: Josip Juranovic was hopelessly out of position as Fashion Sakala took down the ball and picked out Kent with a low pass across the Celtic penalty area. Starfelt tries his luck with a wild swing and the ball appears to hit the hand of Connor Goldson. For the visitors, Matate wriggles into space down by the byline and drills the ball across the face of goal. The ref doesn’t award a spot-kick but submits to a VAR check. 84 min: Malik Tillman runs on to a pass from Ryan Jack and advances down the inside left. 63 min: Abada cuts inside from the right and sends a cross towards the far post. Celtic maintained their lead until half-time, despite Morelos missing a couple of excellent chances and Ryan Kent having as shot saved on to the post. The ball eventually goes out for a corner from which Rangers break upfield. We’ve sat deep and had three or four chances to clear the ball.

They threw everything at us, they knew how important the game was in the context of the league. Michael Beale's side then face Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on January 15. Celtic's next Scottish Premiership game is at home against Kilmarnock in a 3pm kick-off on Saturday. We had two big chances with Alfredo from headers, Ryan Kent hits the post and you're thinking at half-time that we need to show a little bit more belief because I didn't think there was much in the game other than that. Again, a great spirit shown by the lads. We have a big chance to go 3-1 up and we don't take it. "Now, we need to show consistency in all the other games. "The two goals [conceded] from us are poor goals to give away, certainly early in the game. We'd like to be two points closer, but there's 18 games to go and we need to keep improving here." "It was a great game of football. "In the second half, we showed that. Hart almost gifted Rangers an equaliser in the 27th minute.

Kyogo Furuhashi's late equaliser denies Rangers a famous Old Firm comeback victory and preserves Celtic's nine-point lead in the Scottish Premiership.

All eyes, not just in Scotland, but around the world were on it, and both teams at it - a proper derby." Malik Tillman (Rangers) left footed shot from the left side of the box is blocked. Kyogo Furuhashi (Celtic) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the high centre of the goal. Ibrox was electrified - then Rangers scored again. We had two big chances with Alfredo and then Kent who hit the post. There was a couple of minutes left and the visitors looked a beaten side. Slowly but surely Rangers were growing into the game. The first signs of a momentum shift came just before the half-hour mark when Joe Hart dallied in possession and got mugged by Morelos. Here, playing out of position and getting a roasting from Sakala, all he had was a red face. In the 20 minutes that followed, Celtic were slick and Rangers were reeling. The visitors looked superior in the beginning, and it wasn't as if Rangers were not warned about Celtic's rapid starts in these games. The start and the finish were all Celtic but in between they had a kitchen sink thrown at them.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart’s clearance was blocked by Morelos, who played the ball to midfielder Glen Kamara, who set up Kent for a drive. Substitutes Mooy, Jota and Georgios Giakoumakis were all involved in an attack inside the Gers box and when the ball fell to Furuhashi, the Japan striker lifted his shot high past McGregor for a share of the spoils, as seven minutes of added time could not provide a winner. Ibrox held its breath as Beaton checked for a possible handball in the Rangers penalty area after a Starfelt shot hit Goldson, but play continued, as it did following a second possible penalty claim for Celtic when again the ball came off Goldson minutes later. The forward’s effort was tipped onto the post by the recovering Hart before Fashion Sakala’s shot was blocked for a corner by Carl Starfelt. Celtic skipper Callum McGregor had a drive from outside the box tipped round the post by his goalkeeping namesake but the corner came to nothing. But in the 87th minute, Furuhashi flashed a shot from 12 yards high into the net to keep Ange Postecoglou’s side nine points clear of their Glasgow rivals at the top of the table.

Michael Gannon manned the phone in the wake of a dramatic Old Firm clash where honours were even but controversy wasn't far away.

A section of the away support spoiled the minute’s silence to commemorate the Ibrox Disaster, as well as the passing of Hoops hero Frank McGarvey, icon Pele and Pope Benedict. [Alfredo Morelos](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/alfredo-morelos) display as much belly fat as I did at the same age. O’Riley can't pass a ball to save himself right now, with a severe lack of confidence. But a couple of things are seriously needing to be addressed by Ange. Would love to know the thinking behind starting James Forrest as yet again as he was anonymous.” Celtic maintained their nine point Premiership lead but Joe Graham, Garrowhill, said: “A team still in progress as our new boss Mick Beale says, the 2-2 draw didn’t change the fact that Rangers are still nine points behind in the title race.

The Parkhead club said in a statement before the match that the silence was also to remember Hoops strike legend Frank McGarvey, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI ...

The tragedy occurred on January 2, 1971 when 66 fans lost their lives following a crush on Stairway 13 with more than 200 people injured following a crush after a 1-1 draw. Sections of the home support then responded with a rendition of the Billy Boys as commentator Ian Crocker stated after the silence "one or two couldn't manage it". Around 700 tickets were issued for the away fans and some noise could be heard from the visiting support before a ball was kicked in Govan. The champions also wore black arm bands as a mark of respect, but upon match referee John Beaton's whistle the Sky Sports microphones picked up sporadic shouts from the away end.
