Michael Beale's Rangers talk that inspired Celtic comeback as Ben Davies touches on title race

Ben Davies has opened up on the Michael Beale half-time message that sparked the Ibrox turnaround as he insisted: 'The title race is the same as before'.

Rangers got off to the worst possible start in the Old Firm derby as sloppy play from Alfredo Morelos allowed Daizen Maeda to skip past James Tavernier and Connor Goldson before slotting beyond Allan McGregor with less than five minutes on the clock.

But the Light Blues hit back with a stunning turnaround in the second-half as two goals in six minutes turned the game on its head. First Fashion Sakala pushed the ball into the path of Ryan Kent who superbly curled an effort beyond Joe Hart before the skipper Tavernier smashed home high into the net from the penalty spot after Carl Starfelt was judged to have brought down Sakala in the box. Beale and Co looked like maintaining their 100 per cent record under the new boss but suffered late heartbreak as Kyogo Furuhashi rattled home with two minutes remaining to claim a share of the spoils in a four-goal derby thriller.
