Review
Young George McCluskey grabbed the headlines with a sparkling display on the right wing on his full debut.
Rangers scored after Lynch and Callaghan left a ball to each other to allow Parlane through to score but 3 minutes later McCluskey came in from the right and fired a cross over for Wilson to chest home virtually on the line.
Celtic had more of the play but Rangers had better chances with Parlane being the culprit in missing them.
Despite the draw, Celtic are at the top of the table clear by 1 point.
