Here is Ewan Murray’s match report from Ibrox:

Ange Postecoglu: “I thought it was a cracker for everyone,” says the Celtic manager. “All eyes are on this game, not just in Scotland but everywhere in the world. Both teams were on it that day, it was a real derby and cracking match.”

“We started really well and then we lost control, mainly because we were dead. We were making mistakes with our passes that we don’t normally do and that allowed them to come back to it. They got a little bit of momentum, the crowd picked them up and at the restart they took a foothold for 15 or 20 Min. We could have resigned ourselves to our fate but we didn’t.”

Michael Bell: “The two goals were poor for us to give us,” the Rangers manager told Sky Sports. “We started well and then we missed a goal. It took us 10 or 15 minutes to find ourselves again. I thought we did it and I didn’t really want the half-time whistle. We had two big chances with Alfredo heading in, Ryan Kent hitting the post and you You think towards the end of the first half we need to show more faith.I didn’t think there was much in the game other than that.

“At the start of the second half we showed that. We put ourselves 2-1 up and were in control of the game. They weren’t that close to Alan.” [McGregor]We had a great chance to go 3-1 with Malek [Tillman] But we didn’t take it and then the second goal they scored was really bad from us. We sat deep and had three or four chances to clear the ball. So I’m disappointed but I saw a lot of good things today.”

Callum McGregor: “It’s a good point, considering,” Celtic captain Callum McGregor said in an interview with Sky Sports. “We started the game really well, silenced the crowd and it was just a little slack that crept into the game. We expected to make the most of our good start but we didn’t. Credit to the lads who showed great character. At 2-1 here with six or seven minutes remaining At the end and you get a draw, we’ll take that. It’s a big result and we’ll take it. We weren’t at our best, so we’ll take it for sure.”

Quick recap: Celtic dominated the first half after Daisen Maeda deflected a foul from Alfredo Morelos to score an early goal for the visitors. Celtic held their lead until half-time, though Morelos missed a couple of excellent chances and Ryan Kent had his shot hit the post.

Within seven minutes of the second half, Rangers found themselves in the lead, equalizing through Ryan Kent before James Tavernier fired them in the lead with a superb penalty kick, which was kicked in for a foul by Carl Starvelt on Fashion Sakala. Despite their best attempts to maintain their lead, the Rangers fell short with just four minutes of normal time remaining. It was Kyogo Furahashi who silenced the roaring Ibrox when he shot home from seven yards after Giorgos Giakoumakis fouled him.
