celtic have been almost flawless in the leave the season but this is ibrox in the old firm derby. when you are playing a team in dominant firm you need to play smartly and not like that's a horrible pass picked up who skip past what was left of the ranger's defence. however after the restart it was rangers who sparked into life and almost immediately kent with the composure to find the corner and pulled his side level the sublime finish. that was swiftly followed by a moment of recklessness. an easy decision for the ref left james tavernier to score from the spot turned the game on its head and set “p turned the game on its head and set up a feisty finish. the thing about celtic is that they do not know how to lose. just as rangers thought they may have the win in the back, i lashed home to level the score a thrilling and to classic derby. celtic remaining nine points clear on the top.
