One set-piece undid the hard work Celtic put into rescuing their season away at Guiseley.

The opening chance fell Celtic’s way, with Danny heading a free kick narrowly wide, before Celtic opened the scoring, slicing open the home defence as Harry Benns held off and held off as he held the ball before lofting to the back post where Domaine Rouse thumped his header past Marcus Bacon. Celtic tried to see out the half, mostly, successfully, Harry Benns almost adding to the tally, but Harrison Nejman’s stuck out leg deflected the ball for a corner. Guiseley’s only chance came from former Celt, Scott Bakkor, lobbed a shot from distance with Joe O’Shaughnessy having to fly backwards to tip the shot over the bar.

Any plan to continue that through the second half came unstuck six minutes into the half, a free kick at the edge of the box which Callum Chippendale whipped around the wall and into the bottom corner. Neither team looked likely to turn the draw into a win, until the dying moments, when substitutes DJ Pedro and Ethan Kershaw linked up, the former heading over the bar from the latter’s cross. As stoppage loomed, Danny Burns headed into the side netting as Courtney Meppen-Walter and Marcus Bacon crashed into one another at the near post, that combination enough to stop Burns’s header. One last chance remained, seconds before the end, a free kick on the halfway line floated to the box, Danny Burns got his head on it, but couldn’t direct it goalward.

With one less game, Celtic’s season could go to the wire.
