5 talking points as Rangers keep Celtic champagne on ice but title glory looms large for Ange Postecoglou

Resolute Rangers kept Celtic's champagne on ice but a gripping derby draw leaves Ange Postecoglou's side tantalisingly close to title glory

The Premiership leaders set a course for their 10th title in 11 years when Jota's volley ignited Celtic Park but Fashion Sakala's second-half equaliser earned the reigning champions a point.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side could well have claimed the maximum points they desperately needed in the final minutes but for Joe Hart and then the width of Celtic's post.

But ultimately the odds dictate it likely will not be enough to stop their rivals re-taking the league trophy.

Victory over Hearts next week will effectively see Postecoglou's side, carrying a hugely superior goal difference, over the line for a title triumph that few predicted at the start of the season.

Rangers found themselves in the rather unusual position where a clash with their old foes was arguably of secondary importance pre-match, given they could reach the Europa League final by beating RB Leipzig in midweek.

But that momentous occasion did not spark the changes in Van Bronckhorst's line-up that many expected as only Ryan Jack and Scott Wright made way from Thursday night's first leg.
