Clint Hill scored a late equaliser to earn Rangers a point in a dramatic and pulsating derby against Glasgow Celtic on Sunday.
The veteran defender struck with just a minute left on the clock, and cancelled out Stuart Armstrong’s opener for Celtic.
Although Celtic still remain unbeaten, the result puts an end to their astonishing winning run. The Hoops had won 22 games on the spin, but a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park restored pride for Rangers.
Celtic striker, Moussa Dembele, was quick to remind their derby rivals of the staggering gap between them by tweeting:
“No 3pts today but we’re still unbeaten and 33 points away” while also adding a graphic “Catch us if you can”.

According to reports from the Daily Record, Liverpool scouts were expected to be in attendance to watch the French forward in the Old Firm derby.
Rangers midfielder, Harry Forrester, took to social media, Twitter, to praise his team-mates for leaving Celtic Park with a point.
He wrote: “Boys played well today! Great scenes at the end.”
