With Hearts having earlier dispatched Falkirk 3-0, McInnes’s side were minutes away from being confirmed as champions for the first time in 66 years, only for a VAR intervention and a Kelechi Iheanacho spot-kick to flip the narrative completely.\n\nAs the match at Fir Park slipped deep into stoppage time with the score locked at 2-2, a long throw into the Celtic box sparked chaos. Motherwell defender Sam Nicholson rose with Celtic’s Auston Trusty, and the ball appeared to cannon off Nicholson’s head before spinning away for what many assumed would be a goal-kick. However, referee John Beaton was called to the monitor by VAR and, after a lengthy review, adjudged that Nicholson had illegally handled the ball, pointing to the spot with virtually the last action of the game.\n\nMcInnes, whose side now lead Celtic by just a single point rather than the three they had effectively secured, did not hide his fury. “I think it's disgusting. I don't think it's a penalty kick,” he said. “But we're up against it, we're up against everybody and we'll be ready for Saturday.” The Hearts manager added that even aside from the decisive call, there had been other contentious penalty appeals during the match that went in Celtic’s favour, underscoring his sense of injustice.\n\nMotherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou echoed the disbelief, stating he saw no justification in the rulebook for the award. “It’s total shock. Even if the ball touches his hand, it comes from a clear push from behind,” Askou argued, insisting the game of football deserved better than such a decisive and questionable intervention. His side had battled hard to secure what looked like a priceless point, only to be denied at the death.\n\nPredictably, Celtic manager Martin O’Neill offered a contrasting view, describing the incident as “a clear-cut decision” and pointing to both handball and an elbow on Trusty in the build-up. O’Neill hailed his team’s perseverance and the impact of Iheanacho’s nerveless finish, which keeps the destiny of the title in Celtic’s hands going into the final fixture.\n\nTelevision replays did little to settle the debate. Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd was emphatic: “For that to fly off his head at this pace, if it hits your hand it will drop in front of you – it won't fly off like it did.” Ex-Hearts boss John Robertson admitted uncertainty, while former Hearts midfielder Paul Hartley insisted the power and trajectory of the ball were consistent with a header, not a handball. The split opinions among seasoned professionals highlight just how marginal – and potentially season-defining – the call was.\n\nThe implications for the title race are enormous. Had the result stood at 2-2, Hearts would have travelled to Glasgow knowing that defeat by two goals or fewer would still crown them champions, thanks to a vastly superior goal difference. Instead, the equation is brutally simple: Celtic must beat Hearts on Saturday to leapfrog them and claim the title, while a draw or a Hearts victory would see the trophy head to Tynecastle for the first time since 1960.\n\nFor Hearts, the psychological blow of seeing certain glory ripped away in such fashion cannot be underestimated. The club has not lifted the league title in 66 years, a drought that has spanned generations of supporters. Under McInnes, they have been the division’s most consistent side this season, combining defensive solidity with clinical attacking play, yet they now face the ultimate test of nerve in the cauldron of Celtic Park.\n\nCeltic, meanwhile, will feel fate is on their side. Despite an inconsistent campaign by their own lofty standards, the chance to win the title at home on the final day is the stuff of folklore. O’Neill’s men will bank on a raucous crowd and the knowledge that they have beaten Hearts in this fixture already this season. The pressure, however, is all on the hosts; Hearts need only to avoid defeat.\n\nMcInnes, a wily campaigner who has previously taken Aberdeen to second place and regularly challenged the Old Firm, has insisted his players will embrace the occasion. “We need to just go and deal with the game on Saturday,” he said, promising a resolute performance from a group that has defied expectations throughout the campaign.\n\nThe controversy will undoubtedly fuel the build-up, with every replay and pundit analysis stoking the flames of debate. What is certain is that Scottish football has been gifted a fittingly dramatic finale, even if the manner of its arrival leaves a bitter taste for many. A season full of twists will culminate in 90 minutes that will define legacies and end decades of heartache for one set of supporters.\n\nBased on reporting from Sky Sports.","news","Derek McInnes calls Celtic's 100th-minute penalty 'disgusting' as the 3-2 win at Motherwell sets up a one-point title decider at Celtic Park on Saturday.","326257660145963008","Motherwell","330151327214604289","326135634953506816","Premiership","327053938840834048","Motherwell vs Celtic","2026-05-13T22:40:00Z","mcinnes-disgusting-celtic-penalty-sets-final-day-decider","Sky Sports","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.skysports.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews\u002F12040\u002F13543770\u002Fhearts-boss-derek-mcinnes-calls-controversial-celtic-penalty-disgusting-with-scottish-premiership-title-race-going-to-final-day",[63,68,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87],"326257534430089216","326257536078450688","326257808385249280","326222712462643200","326257809152806912","326257534329425920","326257545712766976","326257546392244224",[64,69,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96],"Eintracht Frankfurt","Paris Saint Germain","Sheffield Wednesday","Bosnia & Herzegovina","Milton Keynes Dons","Borussia Dortmund","Manchester United","Nottingham Forest","McInnes: 'Disgusting' Celtic Penalty Sets Final-Day Decider",[99,125,147,172],{"awayTeamId":100,"awayTeamName":101,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":102,"homeTeamId":103,"homeTeamName":104,"id":105,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":106,"matchName":107,"publishedAt":108,"slug":109,"sourceName":110,"sourceURL":111,"teamId":103,"teamName":104,"teamIds":112,"teamNames":118,"title":124},"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",[103,100,113,114,63,115,116,117,87],"326255038185869312","326257804983668736","326222707169431552","326255038584328192","326257565635710976",[104,101,119,120,64,121,122,123,96],"Aberdeen","Partick","Anderlecht","Legia Warszawa","Getafe","McLeish Gets 3-Year St Mirren Contract After Playoff Escape",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":126,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":127,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":128,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":129,"slug":130,"sourceName":110,"sourceURL":131,"teamId":63,"teamName":64,"teamIds":132,"teamNames":139,"title":146},"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",[63,133,134,135,136,115,137,138],"326257837204312064","326257546325135360","326257567044997120","326257545830207488","326222713142120448","326255039762927616",[64,140,141,142,143,121,144,145],"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":148,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":149,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":128,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":150,"slug":151,"sourceName":110,"sourceURL":152,"teamId":63,"teamName":64,"teamIds":153,"teamNames":162,"title":171},"Celtic weigh O'Neill's trophy double against Keane's European exploits as the board seeks a permanent manager.
