Hearts manager Derek McInnes believes his team can 'rip up the script' when they face Celtic at Parkhead with the Scottish Premiership title at stake. A draw or win would secure Hearts' first championship since 1960, ending a 64-year wait for the Edinburgh club.

The race has come down to the final day after Celtic's controversial stoppage-time penalty against Motherwell moved them within one point of Hearts. McInnes called that decision 'disgusting' but insists the focus must remain on delivering a 'big performance' in Saturday's winner-take-all clash.

Despite having fewer than 800 supporters in the 60,000-capacity stadium, McInnes is confident Hearts can rise to the occasion. His side has led the league since September and handled pressure well throughout the campaign. The manager wants his players to 'create their own history and legacy' rather than follow expectations that Celtic will simply win at home.

McInnes acknowledged the controversy surrounding recent decisions but emphasized that fortune plays a role throughout any season. Hearts' 3-0 victory over Falkirk demonstrated their quality when it mattered most, keeping them in pole position for a historic triumph.
