Celtic and Hearts set for final day decider in season like no other

It is the title race the world is watching and it all comes down to one final showdown, live on Sky Sports.

Derek McInnes' Hearts just need to avoid defeat at Celtic Park to be crowned Scottish Premiership champions, but Martin O'Neill's Hoops are determined to fight until the end.

For 10 minutes on Wednesday night the Jambos were in dreamland while Celtic trailed at Motherwell, but penalty controversy means the Hoops fans believe they can make it five-in-a-row in a season like no other.

McInnes believes he has a side "capable of winning the league" and that confidence comes from the fact they have led the way virtually all season.

They also have not lost against Celtic, home or away.

But O'Neill has returned to Parkhead twice this season to steady the ship and drag them back into title contention.

Since losing to Dundee United at Tannadice Park in March, they have won seven in a row in all competitions, with the six in the league to cut Hearts' lead at the top.

Hearts could feel hard done by after being denied a penalty in their 1-1 draw at Motherwell before Celtic were awarded a late spot kick in Lanarkshire.

But for McInnes, the focus is on clinching the title and not on hard luck stories.

"Sometimes in life, you've got to beat the best team. The best team for years now have been Celtic," the 54-year-old told Sky Sports.

"We've managed to give a really good record against them.

"To do it, we're going to have to go and get a positive result.

"I'm looking forward to it already. There'll be no feeling sorry for ourselves.

"It's difficult in any game, because nobody plays football to draw a game.

"It's a difficult mindset when players are tuned to win games, to go and try and just play for a point.

"Celtic are in good form. You've got to say that Martin has done so well to get them into this position.
