Sfa to Make Enquiry Into Rangers v Celtic Penalty Incident John Beaton Missed, Says Ex-Pmgol Chief

Celtic’s Resilience on Display at Ibrox

Celtic’s character shone through as they battled back from a two-goal deficit against Rangers. Despite a dominant first-half performance by the home side, Callum McGregor and his team showed remarkable resilience to secure a 2-2 draw. “It never goes to plan,” said McGregor, “but you need characters… and we showed that.” Celtic’s fightback was nothing short of a turnaround, with Kieran Tierney scoring the equalizer in the 56th minute and Reo Hatate adding the late leveller.

Penalty Controversy: Missing John Beaton’s Call

The evening wasn’t without controversy. Ex-PMGOL chief Keith Hackett claims that Willie Collum, the Head of Referees, will investigate a missed penalty call by referee John Beaton. Dujon Sterling’s apparent foul on Sebastian Tounekti went unnoticed, despite it being clear that Sterling held Tounekti’s shirt and bundled him over.

Implications for the Title Race

With Hearts leading the table, both Rangers and Celtic find themselves trailing by six points. However, the Hoops still have a game in hand against Aberdeen. A win at Ibrox could be pivotal for Celtic’s title aspirations. “We need to charge down these last nine games,” McGregor stated confidently.

Travelling Fans and Momentum

Celtic’s away support of around 7,500 fans will play a crucial role in the coming weeks. The team aims to feed into their mentality by securing strong performances at home as well. “We want to try and feed into that,” McGregor said, highlighting the importance of crowd backing.

Conclusion

The draw against Rangers leaves Celtic with much to ponder, especially after the missed penalty call. As the title race heats up, every point matters—and so does every moment on the field. Will Celtic’s fightback and resilience be enough to turn the tide? Only time will tell.
