In a gripping clash, ten-man Rangers fought back to draw 2-2 with Aberdeen, preventing Celtic from clinching the Scottish Premiership title. Aberdeen initially led with Leighton Clarkson's free-kick and Pape Gueye's goal, capitalizing on Rangers' struggles, including a second yellow card for Ross McCausland. However, Rangers rebounded after halftime, with Hamza Igamane narrowing the gap, and despite a disallowed goal for Aberdeen late in the match, Ianis Hagi struck a last-minute equalizer. Rangers now sit 15 points behind Celtic with five games left in the season, intensifying the title race rivalry.
Celtic were moments away from securing their 55th top-flight crown - which would see them match Rangers' record haul - but Ianis Hagi rescued a point for Barry Ferguson's team deep in second-half stoppage time.
Leighton Clarkson opened the scoring for Aberdeen in the 31st minute, whipping a wonderful free-kick into the top left corner despite a hand from Liam Kelly.
Rangers have now fallen two goals behind in seven of their last 10 games, but their fast start after the interval was typical of a side that have scored 10 goals in the first 15 minutes.
As Celtic fans surely began their celebrations, Rangers flew out of the blocks after the restart.
