First Post: Flashing red light and no crank no start, New to the website so apologies if I have made any errors Options

Hi, so I own a 1995 Celica st and today I went to start her up and nothing. I noticed the red light above the left vent on the driver's side was flashing and I heard a constant clicking sound like the blinkers but it's not them because I turned on the blinkers and I could hear the difference. Anyway, I went to the usual culprit that one would suspect, the battery. After some help from my dad, we charged it up and tried the ignition but nothing. Then we tried tapping the starter to see if that was the culprit and still nothing, just a click whenever I turned the key. At that point my dad said to try and push start it and when we did that the car turned on and sounded healthy, I was able to drive it no problem. When I parked it and tried to turn it on again after turning it off, nothing same as before. I really hope you guys can help me out I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. Thank you in adavance.
