Rangers player ratings vs Celtic as Fashion Sakala impresses but Hoops fire late Old Firm leveller

Rangers and Celtic played out a derby thriller at Ibrox as the points gap at the top of the Premiership remains at nine.

Daizen Maeda pounced on a slack Alfredo Morelos pass before skipping past James Tavernier and Connor Goldson to fire a low opener beyond Allan McGregor after just five minutes. The home side struggled to get into the game in the first period but an inspired half-time team talk helped the Ibrox men turn the game on its head inside six minutes.

Fashion Sakala - who caused Celtic issues throughout the game with his direct running and pace - set up Ryan Kent to curl a brilliant leveller beyond Joe Hart before the attacker won a penalty from Carl Starfelt that skipper Tavernier smashed high into the net. Michael Beale looked on course for a huge three points but suffered a late setback as Kyogo Furuhashi blasted a Here's how we rated Rangers at Ibrox.

Fashion Sakala put in a big Rangers performance in derby day draw with Celtic (PA)

Allan McGregor - 6

No chance with opener or late Kyogo Furuhashi leveller.

James Tavernier - 7

Difficult task defensively against the rapid Maeda. Brilliant penalty to leave Joe Hart with no chance.

Connor Goldson - 6

Left exposed at opener after Meada skipped past defender and Tavernier for opener. Some big blocks.

Ben Davies - 6

First choice alongside Goldson under Michael Beale. Third 90 minutes on the trot after injury hit start to life at Ibrox.

Borna Barisic - 6

Got up and down the line but final ball not there. 4/5 crosses going beyond team-mates and out of play.

Glen Kamara - 6

Not his best afternoon. Some slack passes out of midfield.

John Lundstram - 6

Much more like himself in the second period after a difficult start to the game. Subbed after 70 minutes.

Malik Tillman - 6

One who can produced that piece of magic and has done so on a number of occasions this season. Turned up as game progressed. Subbed.

Ryan Kent - 7

Man looked at to produce on big occasion. One big chance that was tipped onto post by Joe Hart. Stunning goal two minutes into the second half. Much more like it.

Fashion JR - 8

Got crowd up after early set back by putting himself about to upset the visitors. Looked most dangerous for hosts. Brilliant work to set up Kent leveller and win penalty.

Alfredo Morelos - 6

Slack pass in middle of park lead to Celtic opener. Headed over from six-yards out when should really score. Second header not long after and once again should be hitting the target. Subbed off.
