Celtic and Rangers played out a thrilling 2-2 draw this afternoon in the Old Firm derby at the Ibrox.
The home side had the perfect start after two Youssef Chermiti goals gave them a 2-0 lead after just 26 minutes.
The Hoops fought back, however, with a 51st-minute finish from Kieran Tierney and a 91st-minute equaliser from Reo Hatate, who finally managed to get the ball in the net after his penalty and first rebound were saved by Jack Butland.
There were feisty scenes after the full-time whistle, as players were seen shoving each other, with Celtic's Julian Araujo receiving a particularly strong push.
Martin O'Neill ran on to the pitch to pull players apart and could be yelling "get away" to his men.
After the game, O'Neill said: : "Coming here is a difficult task, particularly if you're chasing the game as we were.
"Going back to those days, the side were very strong physically. They could compete at European level and domestically. This side doesn't have the same sort of physicality but they do not lack heart.
"Maybe wrong selection in the first place. Easy to say that. They had a big influence in the game and Reo Hatate finally puts the ball in the net after the third or fourth attempt.
"In the scheme of things, you might think it's two points dropped but at half-time, it's a point gained.
"It helps, to fight back at Ibrox from a 2-0 deficit. We could and should have won the game, and that gives you enormous ambition to drive on.
"We're still giving ourselves a chance in this title race."
