This was a game as pulsating as any of those that had preceded it throughout the century.

It may have lacked the finesse that came with others, but it did not lack in effort or controversy. Indeed, this was the Old Firm back doing what they do best, facing up to each other with a passion, with duels taking place all across the field as a subtext to the major confrontation between the Glasgow giants. The first game of the season was one that lacked the emotion and the utter involvement that was demonstrated by both teams last night at Ibrox in front of a 50,059 crowd. In the second, of course, Celtic won conclusively with a 5-1 score when they showed so much more appetite for the fray than their rivals.

Last night, the Rangers support saw their players recognise the importance of the fixture, saw them fight for every ball as fiercely as Celtic did, and saw the game end in an honourable 2-2 draw. However, when the sound and the fury died away, when the dust had settled after this epic encounter, the Premier League table still made happier reading for the leaders, Rangers, than it did for the defending champions. As the Scottish game goes into its first-ever voluntary winter break, the Ibrox team are 10 points ahead of their Old Firm rivals, while Kilmarnock remain the most cogent challengers at the top, lying, as they do, just four points off the lead.
