🔴Rangers 2-2 Celtic | Last-Gasp Penalty Drama & Wonder Goal | Scottish Premiership 2026
It was a day of high drama at Ibrox as Rangers and Celtic played out a breathless 2-2 draw in one of the most thrilling Old Firm derbies in recent memory. In a game that had absolutely everything—a stunning overhead kick, a controversial VAR decision, a last-gasp penalty, and even a touchline bust-up—the points were shared, but the title race implications are massive.
In this video, we bring you the extended highlights and all the goals from this incredible match.
Match Summary:
The home side stormed into a dominant lead thanks to a first-half brace from the red-hot Youssef Chermiti. His first, after just eight minutes, was a legitimate Goal of the Season contender—an acrobatic overhead kick that left the Ibrox crowd in awe . He added a second before the half-hour mark, pouncing on hesitant Celtic defending to make it 2-0 .
Rangers looked home and dry, but Celtic are the champions for a reason. A rejuvenated second-half performance saw Kieran Tierney power home a header to give the Hoops hope . As Rangers tired, Celtic pushed, and the pressure told in the most dramatic fashion deep into stoppage time.
With just minutes left, VAR intervened. Dujon Sterling was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box, and referee John Beaton pointed to the spot . Jack Butland, heroic all game, saved Reo Hatate’s initial penalty and even kept out the rebound, but Hatate kept his composure to slam home the loose ball at the third time of asking, sparking wild celebrations and sending the away end into delirium .
The final whistle brought more fireworks, with players clashing on the pitch and Celtic manager Martin O’Neill—celebrating his 74th birthday—rushing on to play peacemaker and drag his players away .
