  2. 'Bonkers passage of play'

    Scottish football eh?

    Absolutely bonkers scenes here at Ibrox and on balance it feels like the right outcome.

    Malik Tillman perhaps didn’t appreciate Thistle’s intent to hand back possession when he stole the ball and scored.

    It was clearly Michael Beale’s call to allow Scott Tiffoney to walk through and equalise, albeit it was clear not everyone in blue agreed.

  3. 'The right thing has been done'

    Allan McGregor never made it easy for him. I think the right thing has been done. Rangers still have 20 minutes to find a winner.

    GOAL Rangers 2-2 Partick Thistle

    Scott Tiffoney

    Yes, that's what's happening as Scott Tiffoney is allowed to saunter forward unopposed to knock in an equaliser.

    Well, unopposed until he gets to goalkeeper Allan McGregor, who doesn't look best pleased at his manager's decision.

    Extraordinary.

  5. Rangers 2-1 Partick Thistle

    What's happening now?

    It looks very much like Michael Beale is instructing his players to allow Thistle to score an equaliser from kick-off.

    Malik Tillman

    Wow, that's a controversial moment.

    Kevin Holt shapes to knock the ball back to Rangers from a throw-in after an injury to Malik Tillman had led to the home side knocking it out midway in the Thistle half. But Tillman gets back up and nips in to steal the ball before sprinting away to round the keeper and score.

    All hell breaks loose!

  7. Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    The ball is ricocheting all over the Thistle penalty area as shots from Ryan Kent, James Tavernier and Malik Tillman are repelled in quick succession.

  8. Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    A change up front for Thistle, with Anton Dowds taking over from Brian Graham.

    No excuse for the veteran striker missing his second job as women's team manager now. He's got 35 minutes to get to the cup tie with Hearts...

  9. MISSED PENALTY

    Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    James Tavernier goes down the middle and Jamie Sneddon stands tall to push the ball away. Smart goalkeeping.

  10. Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Was the contact outside the box? It does look that way, but the VAR check is complete and James Tavernier steps up.

  11. PENALTY TO RANGERS

    Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Malik Tillman goes down after making his way past Stuart Bannigan... David Munro is quick to point to the spot.

  12. Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Ryan Kent has a pop at goal and there are loud cries for a penalty from the stands as it cannons off the elbow off Lee Hodson. The ex-Ibrox defender was just outside the box and play goes on as Kemar Roofe sends a tame header into the arms of Jamie Sneddon.

  13. 'One-way traffic but Thistle hang in'

    Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Martin Dowden
    BBC Sport Scotland at Ibrox

    The half-time changes and likely rollicking has delivered exactly the response that Rangers needed.

    It is now pretty much one way traffic with the home side showing far more urgency and intent.

    Thistle’s job is the same as it was at kick-off. Hang in and hope for a big chance.

    They’ve managed that once already and have had one or two excellent efforts, Brian Graham’s long ranger the latest reminder of their threat.

  14. 'Great effort from Graham'

    Graham takes a great first touch and it sits up perfectly. Allan McGregor is off his line. It's a great effort.

  15. CLOSE!

    Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Brian Graham has a go from a long way out and his shot from 35 yards or so ripples the roof of the net on its way over.

    Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor was well off his line, rooted to the spot.

  16. YELLOW CARDS

    Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Jags duo Kyle Turner and Harry Milne are shown cards for lunging challenges in the build-up to that last chance for Antonio Colak.

  17. Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    The Thistle defence is stretched as Antonio Colak finds room for a shot but he cracks the ball straight at Jamie Sneddon, who bats it away.

  18. Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    Colak, that's where he lives when the ball comes into the box.

    He heads it down into the ground like all good strikers do.

    GOAL Rangers 1-1 Partick Thistle

    Antonio Colak

    Nicolas Raskin does very well to wriggle away from a challenge inside the penalty box and then stands up a cross for Antonio Colak to nod in his 15th goal of the season.

    It's pretty close to Jamie Sneddon but the keeper can't stop it crossing the line.

  20. 'Roofe should hit target'

    Rangers 0-1 Partick Thistle

    Kenny Miller
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    That's what you get with Roofe and Kent coming on, there's more urgency about the play.

    He should be hitting the target.
