The match saw an intense comeback from Martin O’Neill’s side after they were two goals down to Rangers , led by Youssef Chermiti.
Kieran Tierney brought hope to the Hoops with a header, and Reo Hatate eventually converted after a double-save from Jack Butland from an initial penalty.
As John Beaton’s final whistle sounded, it wasn’t long before tensions between both sets of players boiled over.

Luke McCowan , Mohamed Diomande , and Nicolas Raskin found themselves tangled in a verbal spat, and the situation escalated when Tottenham loanee Mikey Moore pushed Julian Araujo.
Araujo, reacting to the shove, seemed to grab his crotch while making eye contact with Moore.
This provocation heightened the tension, prompting a reaction from the young Englishman, who was restrained by Callum McGregor , Dane Murray, and Djeidi Gassama.
It won’t be long until the players are reunited on the field again. Just under seven days now, with the next meeting occurring at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup next Sunday.
