Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic finish against Dundee
A dramatic conclusion to the match between Kilmarnock and Dundee saw Kelle Roos make a crucial stoppage-time penalty save, earning his team a vital point in their fight against relegation. The 2-2 draw was marked by a chaotic ending, with Jamie Brandon conceding a penalty for a foul on Scott Wright, only for VAR to intervene and check for offside. After a six-minute delay, referee Ross Hardie confirmed the penalty, but Roos made a brilliant save to deny Joe Westley. Kilmarnock remains in the relegation play-off spot, narrowing the gap to St Mirren to just two points. The home side started strongly, with Luke Graham's misplaced header allowing Greg Kiltie to set up Bruce Anderson, who found Joe Hugill for the opening goal. Dundee equalized against the run of play through Simon Murray's header, before Michael Schjonning-Larsen restored Kilmarnock's lead with a superb strike. However, Dundee leveled the score through Scott Wright's finish, setting up a tense finale. The visitors were awarded a late penalty, but Roos' save secured a point for Kilmarnock. Manager Neil McCann expressed his confidence in his team, stating that they should have won the game but were thankful for the point. Meanwhile, Dundee manager Steven Pressley criticized the lack of investment in technology, which he believes puts undue pressure on officials to make correct decisions.
