Rangers 2 – 2 Celtic


“Rangers and Celtic will replay their Scottish Cup fifth-round tie after a pulsating encounter at Ibrox ended with both sides down to 10 men after sharing four goals. It was the first time in 47 years that the home side had hosted Celtic in a Scottish Cup tie but seldom in the intervening time could this famous fixture have produced such an afternoon of drama.” ESPN

Celtic dominate Rangers Cup clash but replay beckons
“Celtic twice came back from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with Rangers in their Fifth Round Scottish Cup clash at Ibrox, with both sides ending the game with 10 men. Walter Smith’s side took the lead three minutes into the game with a 20 yard strike from Jamie Ness, and a minute later Steven Davis hit the bar. However soon after Kris Commons equalised for Celtic. But Rangers were back in front just before half time when Steven Naismith was brought down in the box by Celtic keeper Fraser Forster, who was sent off by referee Calum Murray. Steven Whittaker despatched the resultant penalty to send the locals into ecstasy.” Scotzine
