"At 2-2, Motherwell's Sam Nicholson jumped with Auston Trusty and, after a VAR intervention, John Beaton ruled Nicholson had committed a handball. Hearts manager Derek McInnes described the award as 'disgusting' and said his side were 'up against everybody'. Other prominent pundits have questioned the spot-kick, which was converted by Kelechi Iheanacho."
Celtic host Hearts in a Scottish Premiership title decider, with Celtic needing a win to move into first place. A Hearts win or draw would send the trophy to Tynecastle for the first time since 1960. Martin O'Neill addressed controversy from Celtic’s midweek match at Motherwell, where a VAR-reviewed handball led to a penalty converted by Kelechi Iheanacho.

He argued that similar penalty calls across Europe have raised questions about how decisions are made and called for uniform standards and review in the summer.
