Celtic striker Adam Idah ensured a share of the spoils at Ibrox as Brendan Rodgers' champions came from behind to draw 1-1 against Rangers in the final Glasgow derby of the season.
Cyriel Dessers had given the hosts the lead in added time in the first half after Idah had missed a sitter.
However, the Republic of Ireland attacker atoned for that error with a clever turn and swivel and drive that deflected off John Souttar to rescue a point for Celtic.
With Portuguese winger Jota ruled out for six to nine months with a cruciate problem and Alistair Johnston out with a hip injury and Nicolas Kuhn failing a late fitness Rodgers was forced to shuffle his pack as in came Adam Idah, Tony Ralston and James Forrest.
It was Rangers who almost took the lead inside the opening minute when Leon Balogun crashed a header off the top of the crossbar following James Tavernier's corner kick from the right.
Celtic sprang into life in the ninth minute as Rangers went on the counter, but Mohamed Diomande was mugged by Adam Idah, who looked to slide James Forrest in on goal. Idah's execution was poor, and it took a superb sliding recovery tackle from Balogun to swipe the ball away from the veteran attacker's feet.
Back up the park went the hosts, and Nico Raskin found Vaclav Cerny hammered a deflected effort that looped horribly towards Viljami Sinisalo, who tipped it over for a corner. From the resultant set-piece, Balogun powered in a fierce header which Sinisalo got down low to save.
It was Rangers who thought they had got themselves in front after 25 minutes when Raskin strayed offside from Tavernier's free kick, to head home, but VAR correctly ruled it out.
Cameron Carter-Vickers then thundered in a header from Engels' corner after 34 minutes, which Liam Kelly's fingertips prevented from going into the net.
Idah should have burst the net in 45 minutes when he latched onto Reo Hatate's exquisite pass, but he succeeded in only smashing the ball straight off Kelly's chest.
Within 60 seconds, Rangers were ahead. Vaclav Cerny's smart dummy saw Cyriel Dessers collect possession in the middle of the box, and he outmuscled Liam Scales to slot past Sinisalo and claim his 25th goal of the season.
Idah levelled the score when he snashed in a deflected drive off John Souttar after 58 minutes. The strike was initially cancelled out by VAR for offside, but after a lengthy check, referee Nick Walsh awarded the goal, and suddenly it was game on at Ibrox.
Both teams huffed and puffed in their search for a winning goal, but it was not to be, and it was honours even on a day when the champions remained 17 points clear of their city rivals.
Adam Idah produced the good, the bad and the ugly side of his game
The £8.5 million Republic of Ireland striker doesn't half divide the Celtic supporters' opinion.
The centre-forward missed Celtic's best chance of the match in the 45th minute when he blasted straight at Kelly when it looked easier to score, and Ranges then went up the park and scored the crucial opener.
His hold-up play wasn't up to scratch either, and he failed to play in James Forrest for a free hit at goal when the pass seemed well and truly on.
Just when the Celtic fans were getting on his case, the Irishman wheeled and hit a ferocious strike that cannoned off John Souttar and flashed past Kelly into the net for the equaliser. For all his failings in the game, it was a crucial touch and spin to score at a crucial time.
It was the striker's 18th goal of the season and his second precious career hot at Ibrox. The champions badly needed a lifeline back in the match, and it was Idah who provided it.
The 24-year-old will score goals for Celtic, yet the chance he took was much harder than the one he spurned in the opening period.
Great to see 2,000 Celtic fans back at Ibrox
From small acorns and all that. The Glasgow derby has badly missed the contingent of away supporters. It is Scottish football's unique selling point, and it added up to a terrific atmosphere inside the Govan amphitheatre.
We may never get back to the original allocations for both sides, but my goodness, we badly need away fans in for the spectacle, the colour and the occasion.
It would be great to see if both sides could come to the table and work on a solution to allow an ever greater allocation of tickets for away fans for future matches.
Fingers crossed. We live in hope. The Glasgow Derby craves it.
A cracking cameo from Paulo Bernardo
The pre-match talk was all about the other Portuguese superstar, Jota.
However, Bernardo can count himself unlucky that he is not featuring more regularly in the Celtic midfield.
There is a naturally talented footballer there with poise, grace and elegance. He can also mix it when required.
The Portuguese under-21 captain's Ibrox cameo was decent and at one point was inches away from releasing a pass to Idah, which would have put him through on goal.
The 23-year-old understood the assignment when he came on to replace Engels, and he gained Celtic real territory and a foothold in the engine room when they were beginning to lose a grip.
Same old defensive frailties come back to haunt Celtic
Celtic boss Rodgers had talked about being switched on for set-pieces pre-match, but the men in green and white didn't get the memo, especially in the opening 45 minutes.
Three headers were aimed at the Celtic goalkeeper Sinisalo - one was saved, one crashed off the top of the crossbar, and one saw a goal disallowed. The players failed to take responsibility for any of them.
It is starting to become more than an issue, and the signs are there that it is a particular weakness of the champions, which they are struggling to deal with.
Liam Scales also allowed himself to be outmuscled by the sheer brute strength of Cyriel Dessers in the lead up to the opening goal. The Irishman has to be much stronger in those situations and looked cumbersome and ponderous up against Dessers. It is rather microcosmic of his Celtic career as he hasn't always entirely convinced at centre-back.
