What a difference a week makes in football. With 96 minutes on the clock at Fir Park on Wednesday night, Celtic looked dead and buried in the title race. Fast forward, and somehow we're right back in the thick of it—talk about a lifeline.

In the heat of the moment, my first instinct was pure frustration. I saw Auston Trusty go down and I was shouting at him to get up so we could take another throw-in. But as the replays rolled in, the commentary team started to murmur, "Hold on, I think there's a hand here." And sure enough, they were right. The timing, the intensity, the stage—it all magnified the moment, but make no mistake: that was a penalty, plain and clear. Only one man truly knows what happened, and that's Sam Nicholson.

Derek McInnes has been pushing this narrative that everyone's out to get Hearts, but let's be real. Why would the SFA want Celtic or Rangers to win more than Hearts? Hearts have come so close, and they've still got a massive chance on Saturday. But there's no grand conspiracy here—this is just football doing what football does.

Hearts' record against Celtic this season is genuinely impressive, but that record isn't against Martin O'Neill's Celtic. O'Neill's side drew 2-2 at Tynecastle, and now they've got the chance to finish the job in front of 59,000 Celtic fans—with just a handful of Hearts supporters in the stands. I've got faith in my team. I believe Celtic will get the job done on Saturday.

It's been a wild ride—exciting, nerve-wracking, and at times downright painful for Celtic fans. But somehow, we're still in the mix. I can't wait for Saturday, and I hope the conversation moves on from the handball. That's in the past now. What we've got is a straight shootout for the title, and honestly, that's as thrilling as it gets.
