Auston Trusty was at the heart of the drama at Fir Park on Wednesday night.
The Celtic defender was caught with a stray elbow from Sam Nicholson, who then proceeded to handle the ball in the same action, which resulted in the Motherwell man being punished.
Since then, the decision to award Celtic a match-winning penalty, which Kelechi Iheanacho dispatched with authority and calmness, has got the whole of the footballing world talking.
When Trusty posted on Instagram about Celtic’s win over Motherwell, he didn’t directly address the penalty drama, but instead issued a rallying cry that there are ‘two more finals to go.’
BE HONEST: Do you think Celtic’s late penalty should’ve been given…? 👀
Auston Trusty states Celtic’s win over Motherwell was ‘absolute cinema’
The fact that Celtic could still win the domestic double is pretty remarkable.
Given the number of times Celtic have set Parkhead on fire this season, with more noise off the pitch than on, matching last season’s trophy haul would be special.
That’s why people like Callum McGregor think this title win would be right up there in his career, because if he hasn’t seen drama like this in Scotland, then you know it’s pure theatre.
Nonetheless, given that Celtic have won yet another match right at the death, Trusty hit the nail on the head when he stated that the scenes at Fir Park were ‘absolute cinema.’
The USMNT defender was at the heart of the celebrations as the Celtic fans celebrated with joy, and this was his message to all.
‘Absolute cinema🎥,’ said Trusty. ‘IT’S NOT OVER TILL IT’S OVER!! 2 more finals to go!!’
