Motherwell faced off against another title-chaser just four days following their crunch match with Hearts. Celtic were in town, and the pressure was high for Motherwell to secure their Conference League spot. As the players walked out the tunnel, a new 140th anniversary kit was unveiled to the Fir Park crowd as everyone hoped for a memorable evening. They certainly got that. Elliot Watt's strike sent the Motherwell fans crazy, but Daizen Maeda equalised to bring Celtic level. Benjamin Nygren found the top corner, but Motherwell didn't give up, with substitute and unlikely goalscorer Liam Gordon netting the leveller with minutes remaining. With Motherwell on the cusp of another huge result at Fir Park, VAR and refereeing controversy would take the headlines on what should have been a wonderful evening, as Sam Nicholson was punished for handball with the last phase of play. Kelechi Iheanacho scored with the last kick to keep Celtic's title hopes alive, with Motherwell and the rest of the footballing world left questioning why the visitors were awarded a penalty kick. The result sets up a final day shootout with Hibernian, with the victor taking that all-important fourth place in the table.
