The Celtic Park crowd was left stunned as Rangers showcased their attacking prowess.

However, Celtic refused to go down without a fight. The second half saw a remarkable comeback from the hosts, fueled by their Japanese stars. Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate scored crucial goals to level the score at 2-2, sending the home fans into a frenzy and setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
