"If you're 2-0 down at half-time, you have to question yourself. I spend my life questioning myself, to tell you the truth. But anyway, we pulled it around in the second half. Great effort by the players, they've shown great spirit. Coming here is a difficult task, particularly if you're chasing the game as we were."
"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."
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill praised his team's second-half performance after they fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Rangers at Ibrox. Youssef Chermiti's first-half brace had put Rangers in control, but Kieran Tierney initiated Celtic's revival. Reo Hatate dramatically equalized in the 91st minute after seeing a penalty saved and another effort denied. O'Neill acknowledged the team's lack of physicality compared to previous squads but highlighted their fighting spirit and heart. He viewed the comeback as a point gained rather than two dropped, emphasizing it provides enormous ambition to continue the title race. Celtic remain third, eight points behind leaders Hearts but with a game in hand.
