Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic finish against Dundee
Kilmarnock goalkeeper Kelle Roos made a stunning stoppage-time penalty save to deny Dundee's Joe Westley, earning his team a vital point in their fight for survival. The match ended 2-2 after a chaotic finale. Jamie Brandon conceded a penalty for a foul on Scott Wright, but the decision was delayed due to a VAR check for offside. After a six-minute wait, referee Ross Hardie confirmed the penalty, and Roos made a crucial save to his right to deny Westley. Kilmarnock remains in the relegation play-off spot, now just two points behind St Mirren. The home team started brightly and took the lead in the 14th minute through Joe Hugill. Dundee equalized against the run of play in the 24th minute with a Simon Murray header. Kilmarnock regained the lead with a superb Michael Schjonning-Larsen strike, but Dundee leveled the score in the second half through Scott Wright. The visitors had the chance to snatch all three points with a late penalty, but Roos' save secured a point for Kilmarnock. Dundee manager Steven Pressley expressed frustration with the technology used for VAR decisions, stating that it is not fit for purpose and puts officials in difficult situations. Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann felt his team should have won the game but was confident in their ability to climb the table.
