Fashion Sakala's Rangers penalty glee caught in clip as unique angle vs Celtic shows smiling star

A previously unseen clip showing Fashion Sakala celebrating winning a penalty for Rangers in the Old Firm derby has sparked debate once more.

It was a thriller at Ibrox when the Light Blues drew 2-2 with their rivals Celtic after the Hoops' lead through Daizen Maeda was cancelled out by a second-half goal from Ryan Kent before Sakala was crucial in winning a spot-kick that James Tavernier duly converted. In the end Kyogo Furuhashi levelled the game with a few minutes to play but there were some big calls on derby day.

Pundits and fans alike debated whether Sakala was caught by Celtic defender Carl Starfelt as John Beaton pointed to the spot, with Kris Boyd even professing his belief that it may not have been a clear-cut penalty. And now a clip has emerged on Rangers' official Youtube channel captioned 'Inside Ibrox' which offers unique angles and moments to the match coverage.

Sakala can be seen holding his hamstring in the immediate aftermath of the challenge before clenching his fist in celebration and smiling towards the Rangers fans behind the goal. The Zambian is then helped to his feet by an equally-pleased Malik Tillman before he turns to the Ibrox crowd and roars in celebration and receives an embrace from Alfredo Morelos.

This footage may have sparked anger among Celtic fans who feel Sakala bought the spot-kick yet some Rangers supporters were quick to point out that the 25-year-old was simply celebrating getting Michael Beale's side back in to the game as the debate rages on.

The derby day four-goal thriller leaves Ange Postecoglou and his troops nine points clear at the Premiership summit.

Beale remains unbeaten as Rangers boss with four wins and a draw - but faces an uphill battle in the race for the title this term.
