Celtic’s celebrations for winning the title are now put on hold following Fashion Sakala’s strike in the second half earned Rangers an 0-0 draw in the final Old Firm match in the league.

Celtic believed that victory was almost certain to win the title. Jota scored in the opening game to take them to the top of the table.

Gers striker Sakala scored at 68 minutes through a powerful strike and the draw kept Rangers six points ahead of the Hoops with just three games remaining.

Celtic’s better goals-to-goals ratio of 19 signifies it will require a significant and unlikely change to secure this title in Ibrox. Celtic vs Rangers

Celtic were beaten by their bitter rivals in extra-time at their Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park just two weeks ago, and revenge was in the air.

There were just 700 Rangers supporters allowed into the stadium that holds 60,000 people, and which was crowded by a raucous home crowd who was watching the Ibrox side begin the better of both teams.

The 12th minute of the match, Ryan Kent volleyed a cross from captain James Tavernier past the post from 12 yards. He should have at the very least tried to test Hoops the keeper Joe Hart, who then was faced with an impressive long-distance strike from the Gers attack.

Ange Postecoglou as well as Celtic are just inches away from winning the title, but they have to wait a bit longer to get their moment of glory following an derby draw. Celtic vs Rangers

They and Rangers took the points following Jota’s opening goal was defeated during the second half through Fashion Sakala.

The game promised thunder and blood when the champions of all time put in a one last effort and for a large portion were the superior team from Glasgow’s east side.

They had their first clear opportunity of the game when Ryan Kent flashed wide.

However, in a similar chance Jota took advantage of his static Borna Barisic and then threw the ball into.

Two huge mistakes from Daizen Maeda were the next to be missed and it should be a lot more relaxed for the Postecoglou’s team after Sakala hit at the end of the 2nd half, setting up an amazing final.

The Zambian was then given a second chance but hit the post, and it occurred following a brilliant save by Joe Hart against Scott Arfield.

Celtic have stood up and now need to win the Premiership title in their final three games , which are against Hearts, Dundee United and Motherwell.

For Rangers their attention is now turning towards that huge Europa League semi-final second leg against RB Leipzig. Celtic vs Rangers
