Rangers frustrate Celtic in frenetic Old Firm tussle as John Terry watches on

Rangers frustrated Celtic and ensured a delay to their Scottish title party as they battled back to earn a draw at Parkhead.

Jota’s first half effort had given the home side the lead but a second half equaliser from Fashion Sakala ensured a share of the spoils – with Rangers made to regret late missed chances to take all three points.

The game was played out in front of former Chelsea and England captain John Terry, who watched the game draped in a Celtic scarf due to his fandom of the club.

The home side started the brighter and deservedly went in front in the 21st minute, as Daizen Maeda did well to beat James Tavernier before firing a low cross across Allan McGregor’s goal that was fired in by Jota.

The Portuguese forward was more alert than Borna Barisic at the back post and was rewarded with the opening goal.

Yet despite taking the lead, the home side failed to push on from their bright opening start and it was Rangers who grew increasingly assured in proceedings with long spells of possession and taking the sting out of the home side’s fast attacks.

Despite more possession and territory from the visitors, Celtic were wasteful in front of goal with both Jota and Maeda spurning glorious opportunities – the latter failing to direct a header on target from point-blank range after a perfect delivery into the box, with the onrushing McGregor ensuring the Japanese forward was not fully committed to his effort.

There was a notable sea-change after the break with Rangers entirely nullifying the threat from the hosts, who did not test McGregor while there was sustained spells of pressure from the visitors – even without creating any major opportunities of their own.
