“We got a penalty, which looks as if it’s pretty clear-cut," said Martin O'Neill.

Hearts manager Derek McInnes believes the decision to award Celtic a penalty deep into injury time, which has had massive ramifications on the Scottish Premier League title race, was “disgusting”.

The Edinburgh club were comfortable winners against Falkirk and shortly after full time at Tynecastle, news filtered through that Celtic had been given the chance to beat Motherwell with the last kick of the game from the spot.
