Why this matters

The 'Old Firm' derby between Celtic and Rangers is a pivotal fixture in Scottish football, often having significant implications for the league title race. A stalemate in such a high-stakes match, especially one deemed 'damaging' to the Old Firm clubs, can dramatically alter the landscape for other teams like Hearts and Motherwell, allowing them to gain ground or solidify their positions in the league standings.
