(Reuters) - Rangers missed a gilt-edged opportunity to cut Celtic's lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership down to six points after Kyogo Furuhashi hammered home a late equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw in the Old Firm derby at Ibrox on Monday.
Celtic got off to a flying start after Japanese forward Daizen Maeda pounced on an errant pass by Alfredo Morelos and slotted his shot past Allan McGregor in the fifth minute.
Ryan Kent levelled in the 47th minute with a curling effort into the far corner of the net, past the outstretched arms of Joe Hart. However, Rangers' were denied victory over their fierce rivals when Japan's Furuhashi fired the ball through a mass of defenders in the 88th minute to salvage a point for the champions.
