A match full of emotion from start to finish for the Scottish Premiership.
The start was totally favorable for Rangers, led by an inspired Youssef Chermiti, who opened the scoring in the 8th minute and completed his double in the 26th, becoming the dominant figure of the first half.
Celtic, disoriented and unable to find their rhythm, had difficulties containing Rangers’ attacks. However, after the break, the visitors showed a completely different version of themselves: solid in defense, more compact in midfield, and with a much clearer offensive approach.
The comeback began to take shape when Kieran Tierney scored the 2-1 in the 56th minute, giving new hope to his team. And just when it seemed that Rangers would secure victory, Reo Hatate appeared in the 91st minute to score the decisive 2-2, a vital goal to keep Celtic’s title hopes alive.
Although both teams shared the points, the result seems to favor Hearts, who remain firm at the top of the table heading into the final stretch of the season.
