Rangers retained their four-point lead at the top of the Scottish Women’s Premier League after a tense draw at home to city rivals Celtic.
The Glasgow rivals played out a thriller in front of a reduced Ibrox crowd after away tickets were cancelled by the hosts citing security concerns.
A high press had Celtic in all kinds of trouble from kick-off, but the visitors grew into the game as Rangers began to sit off their city rivals.
It was a match of few clearcut chances until Amy Gallacher cut the ball into the path of unmarked fellow forward Natasha Flint to slot the visitors ahead a minute into the second half.
Celtic were now dominating play, but Rangers substitute Mia McAuley fired low into the far corner in the 69th minute with her first touch of the ball.
Although both sides had chances to win it, they had to settle for a point apiece.
Meanwhile, reigning champions Glasgow City drew level on points with Celtic after a 3-0 win away to Motherwell.
