Some more of your opinions on that late penalty decision and subsequent Celtic goal...
David: Bet Hearts fans celebrated that penalty and much as Celtic did!
Brian: So unlucky for Jack Butland. Great save for the penalty (I think he had the header covered before the ball hit Dujon Sterling's arm), then kept the follow-up out, but had no chance with the third bite of the cherry. Celtic a bit fortunate, really.
Richard: Incredible game. Rangers good in the first half, Celtic better in the second half. A draw would be fair but Celtic have the momentum.
Andrew: Ridiculous penalty! The handball rule is a disgrace. There is absolutely nothing the defender could do about it. Bring back handballs only being given for deliberate handballs. VAR is destroying the game we love.

It's spilling over on the pitch.
Plenty of shirts getting pulled and pushing and shoving.
That's Martin O'Neill's music! The Celtic boss appears from nowhere but he's trying to be peacemaker.

Match Facts
Rangers are unbeaten in their last five league meetings with rivals Celtic (W3 D2), after having lost four of their previous five beforehand (D1). They have had four different managers in those five clashes (Philippe Clement, Barry Ferguson x2, Russell Martin, Danny Röhl).
Celtic have only won two of their last 12 away games at Rangers in all competitions (D4 L6), although both of their last two have been drawn. The Hoops last drew three successive trips to their Old Firm rivals in March 1996.
Rangers have won each of their last 10 home games in all competitions by an aggregate score of 32-4. The Gers last won 11 successive home matches in December 2013 under Ally McCoist (11), and last did so within a single season in April 2003 under Alex McLeish (18) – the 11th of which was against Celtic (3-2 in December 2002).
Celtic have lost seven games in the Scottish Premiership this season, as many as they did in 2023-24 (3) and 2024-25 (4) combined. The Hoops last suffered more defeats in a league campaign in 1999-00 (9) – with their eighth defeat that season coming away to Rangers (0-4 in March 2000).
After his side’s 3-1 win in January, Danny Röhl could become the first ever manager to win both of his first two league Old Firm derbies in charge of Rangers.
This will be Martin O’Neill’s first league Old Firm derby as Celtic boss since a 2-1 win at Ibrox in April 2005; the Northern Irishman has won eight of his last 10 league games against Rangers as Hoops boss (L2).
Rangers’ Mikey Moore, who scored in the last Old Firm derby in January, has five goals in the Scottish Premiership this season; the last player to score more while aged 18 or younger in a season in the competition was Ryan Gauld in 2013-14 (6), and the last non-Scottish player to do so in the top-flight was James McCarthy in 2008-09 (6).
Despite playing 46% of his minutes in the Scottish Premiership this season as a central midfielder, Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren ranks joint-top for goals (14, level with Tawanda Maswanhise), second for shots (67), second for shots on target (30), and third for expected goals (10.0) in the 2025-26 competition.
