\n All three parties will now face disciplinary hearings on July 16 after a furious fall-out followed the award of the 96th minute spot kick to the eventual champions in the penultimate game of the season.\n<\/p>\n
\n Embroiled in the tightest SPFL title race in years McInnes was still manager of Hearts prior to his move to Ibrox when the Tynecastle side looked set to extend their lead in the Premiership.\n<\/p>\n
\n The award against Motherwell\u2019s Sam Nicholson sparked weeks of debate and speaking on Sky Sports McInnes called the decision \u2018disgusting\u2019 telling Sky Sports: \u201cWhen you heard Celtic<\/a> got a 96th minute penalty that was going to VAR and they were checking it, you just assume what\u2019s happened is they get the penalty.\n<\/p>\n \n \u201cHaving seen it again, it\u2019s disgusting. It is.\n<\/p>\n \n \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s a penalty kick.\n<\/p>\n \n \u201cBut we\u2019re up against it. We\u2019re up against everybody.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n A post from Motherwell on X read: \u201cAs the world of football mocks our game, we simply have to draw a line in the sand and shift the focus.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n Another from midfielder Watt called the penalty \u2018the worst VAR decision in history\u2019 and has also been cited by the governing body after Fir Park referee John Beaton\u2019s contact details were posted online and the category one official required police protection after giving the award in the aftermath of a VAR review.\n<\/p>\n \n A strongly worded statement from the SFA condemned the fall-out with Chief Executive Ian Maxwell branding it \u2018disgusting.\u2019\n<\/p>\n
