Celtic net 99th-minute penalty to set up final day title decider with Hearts

Hearts are nearing their first championship since 1960, which would be the first instance in 41 years of a team beyond the Old Firm clinching the crown.

However, Celtic stay in contention for their 14th title across the last 15 years, with Iheanacho's penalty ensuring they trail by just one point.

In the electric atmosphere at Tynecastle, Hearts looked forward to a landmark evening in Edinburgh.

Derek McInnes's players seemed destined for glory at one juncture, as Celtic lagged behind at Fir Park.

After a tense beginning, a pair of goals within five minutes sustained Hearts' ambitions.

Defender Frankie Kent bulleted in a header, then Cammy Devlin's effort looped off a deflection to extend the advantage.

Blair Spittal notched a third near the close, though the true tension brewed over in Motherwell.

Elliot Watt's strike handed the hosts a merited edge.

Celtic surged back around the interval via searing efforts from Daizen Maeda and Benjamin Nygren.

Motherwell hemmed in Martin O'Neill's side and claimed their comeback in the 85th minute, Liam Gordon tidying up from a chaotic tussle in the six-yard box.

Celtic would need to overcome Hearts by three goals on the concluding matchday absent that decisive strike.

Late in added time, a VAR check revealed a Motherwell defender's arm raised high within their penalty area.

The one-time Manchester City attacker Iheanacho assumed the duty, dispatching the spot-kick with composure to craft an exhilarating end to the campaign.
