Celtic strike late to earn big draw against Rangers with plenty to talk about

Celtic provided another late show as Kyogo struck with two minutes left to earn a dramatic derby draw and keep the champions nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership and end Michael Beale’s perfect record as Rangers boss.

The Light Blues were on course for a huge three points after coming from behind to take the lead and it looked like they were set to breathe life into their title race. But the Hoops had other ideas to have the last laugh in a pulsating match.

Daizen Maeda fired Celtic in front after just five minutes but Rangers recovered and an exquisite Ryan Kent equaliser and James Tavernier penalty - his 100th career goal - in seven second half minutes before Kyogo grabbed the late leveller. The visitors threw in Alistair Johnston for a quickfire debut in the cauldron of an Ibrox derby with James Forrest also handed a start as Liel Abada and Jota had to settle for a place on the bench.
