KYOGO FURUHASHI’S dramatic late equaliser earned Celtic a 2-2 draw against Rangers at Ibrox to retain their strong grip on the Premiership title race.

Fellow Japanese attacker Daizen Maeda opened the scoring for the visitors in the fifth minute after taking advantage of atrocious Gers defending.

The Light Blues looked forlorn going down the tunnel at half-time but Ryan Kent curled in the equaliser two minutes after the break before skipper James Tavernier slammed in a penalty five minutes later.
