A controversial late penalty for Celtic against Motherwell transformed the Scottish Premiership title race, leaving Derek McInnes' side requiring a point from their final-day trip to Celtic Park to secure a first championship since 1960. The Hearts manager did not mince words, branding the decision 'disgusting' as his team's fate dramatically shifted in stoppage time.\n\nHearts had done their job efficiently. Frankie Kent, a late addition to the lineup after Craig Halkett's weekend injury, rose to head home a Kyziridis corner to break the deadlock. Cammy Devlin then pounced on a loose ball, his effort looping in off a defender to double the advantage. The home side, roared on by a feverish Tynecastle crowd, were initially in control and seemingly cruising towards the penultimate round with the title within their grasp.\n\nHowever, the atmosphere inside the stadium was a bizarre split-screen. Fans and players alike were glued to updates from Fir Park, where Motherwell had taken a shock early lead against Celtic. A false rumour of a second Motherwell goal briefly ignited hopes of a historic party, but reality bit when Celtic equalised. The rollercoaster continued: Celtic took a 2-1 lead, only for Motherwell to peg them back again in the 83rd minute. At that moment, with Hearts 3-0 up through Blair Spittal's curling effort, the home faithful dared to believe.\n\nThen came the gut punch. Deep into injury time, well beyond the regulation 90 minutes, the referee awarded a penalty to Celtic. The spot-kick was converted, snatching a 3-2 win for the champions-elect and leaving Hearts stunned. McInnes, having already nursed grievances from a penalty not given to his team at Motherwell days earlier, erupted. 'I heard there was a 96th-minute penalty. I didn't need to ask who for,' he said. 'I'm getting more and more dismayed at some of the decisions our referees are coming up with. It's such a bad decision. We're up against everybody.'\n\nThe sudden twist means Hearts' destiny remains in their own hands—but only just. A 3-0 home win, which should have been a cause for unbridled joy, ended with deflated faces in maroon. Instead of needing only to avoid a three-goal loss at Celtic Park, McInnes' men now know that a single point will be enough to end 66 years of Old Firm dominance. The mathematics are simple, the execution on Saturday will be anything but.\n\nThis season's narrative has been one of improbable dreams. Few outside Gorgie Road gave Hearts a chance of breaking the Glasgow duopoly, yet McInnes has built a resilient, organised unit capable of grinding out results. The title challenge has attracted global attention, but the cruelty of the climax is that falling short now would be devastating. One point from the home of the perennial champions is a monumental ask, even if Celtic have already secured the League Cup and may have one eye on a European final.\n\nThe penalty controversy adds fuel to a simmering fire. McInnes was careful to also acknowledge Celtic's recent form—five straight league wins before this round—but his fury was palpable. The decision will be replayed and debated for days. It injects an element of grievance that could either galvanise Hearts or weigh heavily on a group unaccustomed to such pressure at the summit.\n\nBack on the pitch, Hearts coped well with the absence of Halkett, whose injury forced Kent into the starting lineup. The defender's goal was a reward for a disciplined collective effort. Devlin's industrious midfield display was typified by his goal, while Spittal's late curler briefly seemed like fate's seal on a glorious evening. Yet the mood swing was instant when news of Celtic's penalty filtered through.\n\nTynecastle has been a fortress all season, unbeaten at home, but the journey to Celtic Park will be a different beast. Hearts have not won there in the league since 2007. The final Saturday of the season will see the entire club holding its breath for 90 minutes—and perhaps a few extra, given recent events. The Premiership trophy could still be draped in maroon and white, but it will take one last superhuman effort.\n\nAs McInnes channels his anger into preparation, the pressure is squarely on Celtic to stop a resolute Hearts. The hosts are used to winning titles, but they now face an opponent with nothing to lose and everything to gain. The drama of the 38th game will be unmissable, a fitting end to a riveting campaign.\n\nFor now, the inquest into the refereeing decision will continue. McInnes' words echo a frustration not just with a single call, but with a perceived pattern. Whether that becomes a unifying battle cry or a distraction remains to be seen. The Scottish football world will be watching on Saturday.\n\nBased on reporting from The Guardian.","news","Hearts beat Falkirk 3-0, but Derek McInnes fumes at 'disgusting' late penalty awarded to Celtic, setting up a final-day title decider at Celtic Park.","326257660225654784","Falkirk","330151409041281025","326135634953506816","Premiership","326329595206832128","Falkirk vs Motherwell","2026-05-13T21:11:55Z","hearts-win-mcinnes-disgusted-by-celtic-penalty-twist","The Guardian","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002F2026\u002Fmay\u002F13\u002Fscottish-premiership-hearts-falkirk-match-report",[63,68,80,81,82,83,84,85,86],"326222712429088768","326257567011442688","326257809018589184","326222707169431552","326222712496197632","326257537559040000","326255037950988288",[64,69,88,89,90,91,92,93,94],"Scotland","Celtic","Bury","Anderlecht","Netherlands","Benfica","Crystal Palace","Hearts Win: McInnes 'Disgusted' by Celtic Penalty Twist",[97,123,145,170],{"awayTeamId":98,"awayTeamName":99,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":100,"homeTeamId":101,"homeTeamName":102,"id":103,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":104,"matchName":105,"publishedAt":106,"slug":107,"sourceName":108,"sourceURL":109,"teamId":101,"teamName":102,"teamIds":110,"teamNames":116,"title":122},"326257659982385152","Kilmarnock","Craig McLeish appointed St Mirren head coach on a 3-year deal after guiding club to Premiership safety via playoffs, with Stuart Taylor as assistant.","326257660011745280","ST Mirren","338045265229385729","327052562714857472","ST Mirren vs Kilmarnock","2026-06-04T17:50:09Z","mcleish-gets-3-year-st-mirren-contract-after-playoff-escape","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcjrpejq5d5po?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[101,98,111,112,81,83,113,114,115],"326255038185869312","326257804983668736","326255038584328192","326257565635710976","326257546392244224",[102,99,117,118,89,91,119,120,121],"Aberdeen","Partick","Legia Warszawa","Getafe","Nottingham Forest","McLeish Gets 3-Year St Mirren Contract After Playoff Escape",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":124,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":125,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":126,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":127,"slug":128,"sourceName":108,"sourceURL":129,"teamId":81,"teamName":89,"teamIds":130,"teamNames":137,"title":144},"Callum Osmand's title-winning cameo for Celtic caps a rise from Jersey's youth ranks to Premiership glory, inspiring the island's next football generation.","337890518706950145","0","2026-06-04T05:22:29Z","how-celtic-s-callum-osmand-is-uplifting-jersey-s-young-stars","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fnews\u002Farticles\u002Fcn0p44d1y7do?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[81,131,132,133,134,83,135,136],"326257837204312064","326257546325135360","326257567044997120","326257545830207488","326222713142120448","326255039762927616",[89,138,139,140,141,91,142,143],"Jersey Bulls","Brentford","Rangers","Fulham","Canada","Sheriff Tiraspol","How Celtic's Callum Osmand is Uplifting Jersey's Young Stars",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":146,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":147,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":126,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":148,"slug":149,"sourceName":108,"sourceURL":150,"teamId":81,"teamName":89,"teamIds":151,"teamNames":160,"title":169},"Celtic weigh O'Neill's trophy double against Keane's European exploits as the board seeks a permanent manager.
