Hearts’ head coach Derek McInnes criticized a late penalty awarded to Celtic in the 99th minute, which allowed Celtic to win 3-2 and keep their chance to win the Scottish Premiership title. The penalty decision was controversial because video review (VAR) showed the ball might have hit the player’s head, not his hand, but the referee still gave a penalty kick which Celtic scored.
