Celtic fans, we asked for your views on Wednesday night’s dramatic late win at Motherwell that set up a title decider at home to Hearts on Saturday.
Here’s what some of you said:
Albert: What an end for the Scottish Premiership, the title race down to the wire in Glasgow on Saturday after Celtic’s resilience v Motherwell. Celtic players must be congratulated for their never-say-die attitude to win the game in the final seconds.
John: My favourite saying this season has been “grinding out results” every week. Yet again this was heart-stopping stuff.
Just days after English soccer had what many said was its most controversial VAR call, Scotland said: Hold my beer.
Two league title races on a knife edge, two hugely consequential refereeing decisions that provoked equal amounts of anger, confusion and conspiracy theories.

“It’s actually quite disgusting,” said Derek McInnes, coach of Scottish Premiership leader Hearts after seeing the handball incident that gave Celtic a last-minute penalty in a 3-2 win at Motherwell.

The New York Mets are in one of those very weird situations in which they should be sellers, but because of how big their payroll is and how many guys are signed to long-term deals, it might not be the best idea to trade anybody who is an impactful player and instead try to get better in the offseason.
