When a potential equalizer was called back, the excitement of the match increased even more, keeping Rangers supporters on edge until the thrilling finish.

After a brilliant first half, Celtic had sailed into a commanding lead, but in the closing minutes, the story took an unexpected turn. After Adam Idah’s precise finish appeared to have sealed the victory for Celtic, Rangers pulled off an incredible comeback. The Light Blues’ heroes were Abdallah Sima and Rabbi Matondo, with Matondo’s stoppage-time strike guaranteeing that the rewards were shared.

The Old Firm derby is known for its intense intensity, and the match concluded with a flurry of violent altercations and a whirlwind of emotion. After this draw, Rangers is only one point behind Celtic with a game remaining in the Scottish Premiership, which is quite exciting.
