CELTIC took a giant step towards clinching the Premiership title with an absorbing 1-1 draw against Old Firm rivals Rangers at Parkhead.
The Light Blues, beaten 1-0 by RB Leipzig in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final in Germany on Thursday night, started positively but in the 20th minute Portuguese attacker Jota volleyed past Gers goalkeeper Allan McGregor from close range.
Striker Fashion Sakala levelled in the 68th minute with a powerful drive but the draw keeps Rangers six points behind the Hoops with only three fixtures remaining – and with Celtic having a superior goal difference of 19 it would take a notable and unlikely turnaround to keep the title at Ibrox.
There were only around 700 Rangers fans allowed inside the 60,000-capacity stadium, drowned out by an expectant home support who watched the Ibrox side make the better start.
The final whistle ended a pulsating encounter, with Celtic all but champions.
