Hearts held in title race twist

Heart of Midlothian's pursuit of a historic Scottish Premiership title faced a setback after a 1-1 draw against Motherwell at Fir Park.

Lawrence Shankland salvaged a point for the league leaders, but the match was dominated by a controversial refereeing decision that denied Hearts a late penalty.

Manager Derek McInnes expressed his fury at the call, which could prove pivotal in the closing weeks of the season.

While the draw extends Hearts' lead over Celtic to four points, the result keeps the title race wide open with only a few matches remaining.
