Controversial 99th-minute penalty keeps Celtic's title hopes alive
Celtic snatch an incredible title lifeline as Kelechi Iheanacho's controversial injury-time penalty earns a stunning win that leaves them just one point behind Hearts.
Scottish Premiership Motherwell 2 - 3 Celtic FT [PA Media] Celtic secured an incredible title lifeline as Kelechi Iheanacho's hugely-controversial 99th-minute penalty earned a win at Motherwell that leaves them a point behind Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts before the sides meet in Glasgow on Saturday. Martin O'Neill's side had recovered from Motherwell's opener to lead just before the hour, only for their hosts to level in the 85th minute. At that stage, the defending champions faced needing to beat Hearts by three goals at Celtic Park on the final day to retain their title.
But, deep into injury time, Celtic defender Auston Trusty went down claiming he had been caught by a stray elbow. Referee John Beaton was sent to the monitor and ultimately awarded a spot kick for hand ball. What next for these teams?
Celtic host Hearts on the final day in Glasgow on Saturday (12:30 BST) Motherwell complete their campaign with a trip to face Hibernian at the same time.
