A goal in the 90+9th minute ignited the most thrilling title race in Europe.

The Scottish Premiership witnessed one of the most breathtaking and insane endings in Europe this season.

Celtic have returned from the dead.

In the early hours of May 14th, Hearts seemed to have one hand on the historic Scottish championship after an easy 3-0 victory over Falkirk FC. However, unexpected drama erupted in the simultaneous match at Fir Park, causing all emotions to shift in just a few minutes.

At Tynecastle, Hearts completed their task perfectly thanks to goals from Frankie Kent, Cammy Devlin, and Blair Spittal. Derek McInnes's team maintained their lead at the top of the table and have a chance to win their first Scottish league title in 66 years.

A festive atmosphere quickly enveloped the Tynecastle stands as fans received news that Motherwell were leading Celtic. With that result, Hearts were almost certainly crowned champions with a game to spare.

However, everything changed in the chaotic final minutes at Fir Park. Celtic were dragged into a thrilling back-and-forth battle by Motherwell as the game constantly fluctuated. With the clock ticking into the ninth minute of added time and the score tied at 2-2, a controversial turning point occurred.

Following a quick VAR review, referee John Beaton awarded Celtic a penalty, deeming the ball to have struck a Motherwell defender's hand inside the penalty area. From the penalty spot, Kelechi Iheanacho made no mistake, scoring the winning goal to secure a 3-2 victory for Celtic and keep the title race alive until the final matchday.

The VAR decision immediately sparked intense controversy in Scotland. Former football legend Kris Boyd angrily argued that the ball hit the Motherwell player's head before bouncing down and that there was insufficient basis to award a penalty. Meanwhile, former Hearts player Ryan Stevenson criticized VAR's hasty handling of such a sensitive situation.

All eyes will now be on the final matchday on May 16th, when Celtic host Hearts in Glasgow in a game that will decide the Scottish Premiership title. Celtic must win to defend their title, while Hearts only need a draw to make history after a 66-year wait.
