The 27-year-old Japanese international's 15th goal of the campaign ended Rangers' manager Michael Beale's perfect record - four wins in his previous four matches - since replacing the sacked Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Celtic took an early lead through Furuhashi's compatriot Daizen Maeda before Rangers hit back with two quickfire goals early in the second-half. Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou was satisfied with the result in what he termed a "great game of football."
"But look the players are human not robots. "They could have resigned themselves to their fate but, just as they have done in the past year, they did not and never gave up." The game was preceded by a minute's silence being observed for the victims of the 1971 Ibrox Disaster - when 66 fans died in a crush 51 years ago to the day in an Old Firm Derby.
