Celtic secured a 2-1 win away to Motherwell on Saturday afternoon, but had to endure a frantic finale before claiming all three points.
The Scottish Premiership fixture looked to be heading towards a humdrum 0-0 draw, before summer signing Luis Palma found the net for Celtic in the 87th minute, with a shot that looked more like a cross.
That was just the beginning of the drama though, as five minutes into injury time Blair Spittal equalised for the hosts to spark ecstatic scenes around Fir Park.
Incredibly, there was still time for the home crowd to be disappointed, as Matt O'Riley popped up to minutes later to ensure that it would be the away fans who would be leaving Fir Park in delirious fashion.
Motherwell v Celtic ends in dramatic fashion
The Motherwell mood was summed up by the commentator tasked with calling the game for supporters who were watching at home, as he had completely contrasting reactions to those final twists and turns.
"MOTHERWELL ARE LEVEL," he yelled as Spittal equalised, before: "RIGHT AT THE DEATH... UNBELIVABLE SCENES HERE AT FIR PARK!"

Just a couple of minutes later, O'Riley's winner was met with a, let's just say, slightly more reserved reaction.
"Celtic have scored... unbelievable stuff," says the commentator solemnly, and you can practically hear the pen being thrown across the studio in frustration.

Celtic fans rejoice in dramatic victory
During all this, Celtic fans are spilling onto the pitch in celebration of snatching three points at the death.
With the game not broadcast on Sky Sports, Motherwell TV was the only way for fans to watch the game, so some element of bias would have been expected.
To make it even funnier, if you listen carefully, you can hear the Celtic TV commentators going wild amid the muted reaction from their Motherwell counterpart.
The result puts Brendan Rodgers' side on 19 points, with six wins and a draw from their opening seven games of the season.
Given the nature of Scottish football, it's just a matter of time before it becomes apparent that the Hoops will win the league again, but it's moments like the ones experienced on Saturday, that fans will enjoy along the way.
