Celtic, Rangers draw 1-1 in final Old Firm derby

The Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic ended in a 1-1 draw, with Celtic's Adam Idah scoring a second-half equalizer to deny Rangers a third consecutive derby win. Rangers initially took the lead just before halftime through Cyriel Dessers, but Idah's goal, which came after a VAR review, extended Rangers' winless run to six games and highlighted their struggles under interim manager Barry Ferguson. The match was notable for its lack of a guard of honour for the newly crowned champions Celtic and marked the return of away fans to Ibrox for the first time since early 2023. Both teams had significant chances, with Rangers having an early goal disallowed for offside following a VAR check and Celtic growing stronger in the second half. The result means Rangers have not won at home since February, and Celtic avoided a third straight league defeat against their rivals. The match was tightly contested but lacked the intensity and quality expected from the storied rivalry.
