📖 Full Retelling
Reo Hatate scored a late equaliser to rescue a point for Celtic as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Rangers in a pulsating Old Firm clash at Ibrox. A Youssef Chermiti wonder goal put Rangers ahead early on as the hosts piled on the pressure before the striker took advantage of some slack Celtic defending to double their lead before the half-hour mark. Celtic improved tremendously after half-time with Kieran Tierney's header reducing the deficit and they were the better team in the second period. They got their reward in the dying minutes when Daizen Maeda's header struck the hand of Dujon Sterling, with Hatate's spot-kick and follow up initially saved by Jack Butland before the midfielder eventually bundled the ball into the net.
