00:00back in the game at this point in time still get you know a slim chance they can go catch
00:05hibbs
00:07above them so that's you know their motivation
00:14it's going to bring the changes to try it's best to get that next goal and see what the action
00:19is
00:19from hearts okay finishing the top six of the top flight for the first time since 1995 under
00:29jim jeffries bumped into him earlier and to mention that he said top six we were fourth
00:37here's mckeeva
00:40parkinson chasing
00:47it's going to be twisting turns throughout the night
00:52this place was absolutely bouncing my mother will take the lead but i'm not surprised that celtic
00:57the form they've been in managed to get themselves back in front this is meant to be pretty good
01:03i'm told yep not bad yeah it's okay
01:11some strike from benjamin negrin and that news filtering around time castle now
01:22i think coming into the game the hearts fans would expect itself to you know get the job done
01:26most important for hearts i've been saying it throughout the game is that they win the game
01:31here they do their job here which they're doing
01:37kisaridis shankland
01:41it didn't look very likely
01:46oh dear thank you kent's back pass has gifted full kick a corner we're back to
01:52a nervy point of the game yeah yeah certainly the stands that the news with a filter through but
02:00again again i'm going to keep saying at hearts i have to just concentrate on what they can control
02:14and fork up make it even more nervous for hearts
02:22and it seems to be even with a two nil lead ross sends it in there's been a foul in
02:27there
02:35as it stands it's back to just one point between the top two who meet each other
02:45well if it stays the same what a spectacle we have on our hands on saturday but
02:52still time for a few more twists and turns that's for sure
03:00ethan ross did come on for calvin miller by the way
03:04i mean he's offside and he does mess again but he's getting himself in the possessions
03:28or in shankland yeah he's ahead of the ball again
03:34i'm going to be desperate to get his name in that score sheet
03:41ethan ross scored in that league cup win over hearts at the start of last season
03:48another miller blinking way
03:58shankland got a toe in braga spittle looking for kisaridis but henderson clears
04:07shankland moved in on ross
04:11kisaridis
04:14deblin
04:21by finley for kisaridis
04:25finningamy
04:28spittle fancied the shot but it was blocked by cole donaldson
04:33it's a late one by ross mckeever on cammy devlin
04:49the physical side of the game
04:58spittle fancied the shot but it was blocked by kisaridis
05:00inviting clear by donaldson again
05:04shankland
05:05being aware of any danger
05:11Svato sends it back, Devlin shoved by McKeever, we've reached the hour mark at Tarncastle
05:34Park. Hearts are winning, but so are Celtic.
06:07Svato sends it back, Devlin shoved by McKeever, we've reached the hour mark at Tarncastle
06:07that lost a playoff to Adrianians and were stuck in League One for another season. Little
06:14did they realise what was about to happen to them though. Back to back promotions into
06:19the Premiership.
06:29Miss Hart, Stein van der, nudges it away.
06:45Oh, this could be a chance, and it was. But, the flag is up for offside, it wouldn't have
06:54counted. I'll tell you what, I mean, again, he doesn't know, but Stephen Kingsley, this
07:02is an outstanding challenge. It is tight as well, and he doesn't know, but that challenge
07:09there, magnificent from Kingsley. So often you see full-back switching off at the back post,
07:15and the lines that have been drawn there, he stopped a certain goal. Stephen Kingsley
07:22who won a championship title with Hearts, now after the Premiership title. Spittle. This
07:37has broken kindly to Kisiridis.
07:50Ah, but Shantlin, Warner Shantlin put his hand up to Kisiridis there because he'd made the
07:54move earlier, and then by the time Kisiridis passes it, he's not in the right position.
08:00Maybe expect him, because he leaves the wet leash. Strike from 40 yards there, but he's
08:09with a couple of stunners this season already.
08:17Jodie Altena will replace Cammy Devlin shortly. Devlin another like Milley wasn't going to last
08:24the whole game. Kingsley's cross. Pushed away by Hogarth. Steinwender. Hearts would dearly
08:36love that third. Devlin slipping that through. Shantlin tries the back heel.
08:45That will be his final part of the game. So the Dutchman who can play in a midfield role,
09:00or the right back will come on here for Cammy Devlin. In a mo.
09:13Oh.
09:28Hearts looking good to go through a league season in the top flight unbeaten. The first time in
09:3440 years, back in 1986, when they blew the title on the final day, when they were eight
09:40minutes away from winning it. I mention that rather quietly, because we're all around the
09:44Hearts fans. Yeah, and Rob will be looking for you after the game. Yeah, as usual.
09:50It's quite, you know, quite an achievement to go unbeaten at home. We know how, you know, difficult a place
09:58and again another place here, how tough it is to come here, but we've certainly lived up to that
10:03Bill in this season and really made this place so difficult to come and get anything out of.
10:08You think even back early in the season, 3-0 down against Motherwell here, they managed to go
10:13themselves level and actually probably could have gone on to win the game. So yeah, that'll be a record
10:18they're certainly looking for to remain unbeaten at home.
10:21Paul Kirk, in fact, the only team to beat cards here this season on penalties in the Scottish Cup.
10:28We've got a free kick now.
10:31Kingsley's left foot may well be the man to deliver.
10:34No, he's trapped here.
10:37No, he's trapped here.
10:42No, he's locked here.
10:44No, he's locked.
10:55No, he's locked in there.
11:06Spittle goes low
11:07and that's diverted
11:09for a corner and Hearts
11:11as we've already seen tonight
11:13do like a goal from a corner
11:14yeah and Blair Spittle likes one for the edge of the box
11:17he's disappointed with the connection he has there
11:19but they're so, such a big part
11:21of their game, Hearts
11:22delivery, always on point
11:25so aggressive to go and attack it
11:29Frankie Kent's brilliant header there
11:3115th goal from a corner
11:35here's the readers hoisting that one in
11:37back by Steinbender
11:38Spittle
11:41another diversion
11:44via a Hearts play
11:46he caught this one well
11:48Blair Spittle no doubt
11:50puts his eye on it, lets it drop
11:52and it's Shanton
11:53puts himself in the way
11:58and the brethren haven't played blood football lately
12:00but you can see what they think of him here
12:02at Steinbender
12:03standing evasion
12:09a man who's given so much this season
12:11and has given them a 2-0 lead here
12:14with the aid of a deflection
12:18and the Altona on in his place
12:25Hearts retain their 2-0 lead
12:27but Celtic 2-1 up at Motherwell
12:30having come from behind
12:34yeah
12:34he'll be missing for the last parts of the season
12:36but just showing everyone
12:38how important he is to the team
12:51Kenderson
12:56Kenderson
12:57Suncross in that
12:59Poggio
13:01knows he should have done better with that
13:02without doubt
13:03what a chance it is
13:04but
13:06look at the space
13:08for the free header
13:09McKeever
13:10and it just skips up
13:12I mean he can see it
13:13he does have time
13:15just maybe skips up there
13:16with the spin of the ball
13:19but he knows he should do better there
13:21but
13:21the concern for Hearts is
13:22why is Ross McKeever in so much space
13:24they've got a free header
13:25just to flick it on
13:26he could potentially have chested that down
13:28turn to get shot himself
13:29the amount of time that he had
13:33Poggio
13:34has scored five goals
13:35since joining on loan from Aston Villa
13:41Altona
13:43gets the free kick
13:52just another little
13:53certainly first one in the second half
13:55for Hearts that
13:56you know they've had it their own way
13:58for most of the game
14:00but Falkirk
14:01is still going to try and get that goal
14:03and they can't switch off
14:05they switched off there
14:06and
14:06they got away with it
14:08still a job to be done here
14:17time vendor over to Worts
14:19Spittle
14:21Kingsley there too
14:32can't be a Braga song
14:34almost
14:34broke into a chorus there
14:36song of the season
14:38for the player of the season
14:44Kingsley
14:45may go along here
14:55Stephen Kingsley
14:56sends it in
14:59Spittle
15:03the same again
15:25thank you Kent
15:27the intended target here for Stephen Kingsley
15:32Ross hooking away
15:35into the last 20 minutes
15:41we were at the top
15:42of the Premiership
15:44pass of a one point lead
15:46over Celtic
16:01he really needs to score didn't he Braga to get them singing it
16:05full full pelt
16:08he's chasing this
16:11nudge on
16:12Donaldson and the free kick is given for that
16:14as Braga
16:16stays down
16:24he gives Donaldson a little nudge
16:26and I don't know if that just means his arm comes back
16:28Donaldson
16:32yeah I mean it's because he's off balance
16:34it's a accidental
16:38there's nothing worse than when you give a foul away and take a sore one on itself
16:49hearts will go to Celtic Park on the final day
16:53Saturday having beaten the old firm five times this season
16:58the last team to do that
17:00Sir Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen
17:02back in the 80s
17:04they actually did it three times
17:05and we will be at Celtic Park of course
17:08Saturday
17:08from 11.30
17:25thank you Kent
17:27kept his eye on that
17:28Spittel
17:30Shanklin
17:31Braga
17:38Spittel
17:39Kingsley
17:42Spittel's cross cleared by Connor Allen
17:48Spittel teeing up Kingsley
17:58Finlay and Kent will come up again for this long throw
18:16Kingsley tries again Finlay can't get near it
18:21Altona
18:23counter attack on for Ethan Ross here
18:27Parkinson would have been off
18:29yeah
18:29takes too long Ethan Ross is trying to get himself in space
18:32with time he looks up
18:33Parkinson's already made his run
18:34he's offside
18:35he should recognise really
18:39get his head up
18:40get his head up alien
18:40bring that ball
18:42quicker
18:46get his head up alien
18:47bring that ball
18:49quicker
18:55okay for hearts
18:56they search for
18:59another elusive third goal
19:07here we can't know he's going to come on for Falkirk shortly
19:12couple of goals as a sub
19:14prize against Rangers and winner
19:17the other day against Motherwell
19:23Spittel is over this
19:26Kingsley
19:27leaves it for him
19:32Spittel with the switch
19:33to Kingsley
19:34whipped in by Spittel
19:37Steinbender
19:38closest to it for hearts
19:42Altona
19:50I think a good block
19:52to Donaldson
19:53a chance for Steinbender there
19:56great delivery
19:57only a spittle on the left foot
19:59I think Yates is going to be replaced
20:04by Henry Cartwright
20:05who's on loan to
20:08they're from Leicester
20:09who of course are relegated
20:10down to the
20:11third tier
20:13he comes on for the
20:1527th time this season
20:17kind of used to it now
20:20they've scored against Motherwell
20:21over his first touch
20:22so
20:24do the ultimate better that
20:47here's the readers
20:49took that one in well again
21:09Parkinson
21:16now this is going to be a yellow card
21:17with consequence
21:20for Brad Spencer
21:21because he's his 12th of the season
21:23he will miss
21:24the first two matches
21:26of next season
21:26he'll be suspended
21:29yeah
21:30and he gets a touch
21:31on the ball as well
21:33Brad Spencer
21:34but
21:34that's a big blow
21:37for the start of next season
21:38but
21:38when that ball drops
21:39there's no way he's thinking about
21:40if he gets a book
21:41and he's going to serve
21:42a two
21:43two match
21:43suspension
21:48it will be
21:49okay to play
21:49against Rangers
21:50but that suspension
21:51will kick in
21:52at the start of next season
22:03the ups and downs
22:05for the hearts fans
22:07as they
22:07chase a title
22:1066 years
22:12after they last won it
22:23they'd certainly take a motherwell equaliser right now
22:25but they'd also take a third goal for themselves
22:31Kingsley
22:35Spittle
22:37it's going nowhere
22:45the runner-up
22:46to Celtic
22:48with Aberdeen
22:49in the premiership
22:54same story in cups
23:11I can tell you that
23:14Tawanda
23:15Maswaniti
23:16has
23:18well as Elliot Watt
23:19has hit the bar
23:20for Motherwell
23:22against Celtic
23:23got there in the end
23:24with that
23:27the main point
23:28the main point is
23:28they hit the bar
23:30someone hit the bar
23:33it was Elliot Watt
23:34until
23:38the hearts fans
23:39will be hoping
23:39they can hit the net
23:40a couple of times
23:40so they can hit the bar
23:57double changing
23:58coming from hearts
23:59we'll see the arrival of
24:00Landry Kabore
24:03and also
24:04Sabah Kajota
24:07who's
24:0819th
24:09appearance

24:25winners
24:26this season
24:26Sabah Kajota
24:27and he can certainly
24:28put a cross in
24:32Kizaridis may well be
24:33one of those
24:34coming off
24:37challenge from
24:38Cartwright
24:44it will be the other
24:45to make way

25:14scored
25:14Motherwell's
25:15goal

28:26here
28:28fouled by Steinbender
28:30yeah I mean
28:31they'll be well aware
28:32that he's been an equaliser
28:34in that game
28:34again
28:35candy go and get another
28:36goal or two
28:38put themselves in a better

29:41a little bit
29:42snuck the danger out

29:45loop into the goal
29:46Kibore off down that
29:47left hand side
29:48it's a dangerous cross

37:24their third
37:25in style
37:26Blair Spittle
37:27was replaced
37:29by Alan Forrest
37:31who makes
37:32only his second
37:34appearance
37:34both as a sub
37:35since the turn
37:36of the year
37:37his brother
37:38James
37:40chasing
37:40the title
37:42with Celtic
37:47sister Lisa
37:48was chasing
37:48one too
37:49with Glasgow
37:50City
37:52wonder what
37:52they talk
37:53about when
37:53they all
37:53meet up
37:54the
37:54girl
38:05who's
38:06great
38:07and
38:10who's
38:12along
38:13to theze
38:13who's
38:13who's
38:14who's
38:16who's
38:33We are drawing to an end here, that is that, and Harts did what they had to do, they're
38:42still playing, but Derek McGuinness' side delivered here, and they made a rather nervous
38:53start, but eventually got going, Frankie Kent with a brilliant header, and then Camry
39:04Devlin with a deflected drive, made it 2-0, Blair Smith made it 3-0, but there's a VAR
39:09check for a Celtic penalty at Fir Park, an on-field review for a potential handball in the box
39:21at Fir Park, and there could be a twist in this penultimate round of matches yet, a VAR
39:31check for this, James.
39:33Yeah, I mean, you thought you were what was done there, Ian, and this is sprung up, I'm
39:37not surprised.
39:43I mean, it's because of the height of his arm, which is bizarre, because he can go and head
39:50that, there is no need for his arm to be up there.
39:53Well, this is massive, a penalty for Celtic in the 97th minute at Fir Park, they've got
40:01to score it, of course, and the news of that has quickly gone around Tynecastle as well.
40:13Well, this is going to be one massive kick for Martin O'Neill, which could take Celtic
40:19back to within a point.
40:22I'm guessing he's protecting the ball there.
40:27And the season that keeps on giving has come up with another extraordinary moment in Scotland.
40:36England, an extraordinary end of Fir Park, and they're still waiting for this penalty
40:43to be taken.
40:45Presumably involved in something, but Kelechi Iheanacho looking the favourite here.
40:55He's hit some form lately, coming on as a sub.
40:58But how big does this get?
41:01Kelechi Iheanacho with a penalty for Celtic right at the end of Fir Park to put them 3-2
41:08up in a season that's had so many moments.
41:12This is right up there with the biggest of the lot.
41:17Kelechi Iheanacho scores for Celtic and puts them 3-2 up and back within a point of hearts
41:26who hadn't proved their goal difference and were looking like they were heading into
41:32the final day with that advantage.
41:35But another twist, another turn in a season that's been so full of stories.
41:43Celtic leave it late again amid pandemonium at Fir Park.
41:48Well, you mentioned earlier in the game that Celtic kicked off before hearts and we expected
41:54that game to be finished before the game we've watched here tonight, but they go right
41:59to the end.
42:00You can hit the penalty.
42:00I mean, there's still a point behind.
42:02There's still work to be done here for Celtic, but it is a huge goal in the context of the
42:07league title and its destination.
42:09Iheanacho, as cool as you like with the penalty, slotting it away.
42:14I'm sure there'll be debate surrounding whether it should or shouldn't have been a penalty,
42:17but Iheanacho steps up, cool, does his job, wall dives the wrong way.
42:24And he just slots out, I suspect even if he goes the right way, he's not saving it.
42:27But we did expect some twists and turns here tonight.
42:31Didn't expect to be as late as that.
42:34A season that has been very believable with so much going on and so much going on in this.
42:44So much going on.
