Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic late penalty save

A stunning stoppage-time penalty save by Kelle Roos earned Kilmarnock a vital point in their fight for survival, as they drew 2-2 with Dundee in a thrilling encounter. The match saw a wild conclusion, 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 crucial save to deny Joe Westley. Kilmarnock remain in the relegation play-off spot, but are now just two points behind St Mirren. The home side started brightly, with Luke Graham's weak header allowing Greg Kiltie to set up Bruce Anderson, who turned and shot, with the ball deflecting to Joe Hugill, who volleyed in his third goal for Kilmarnock. Dundee equalized against the run of play when Tony Yogane beat his man and delivered a cross that Simon Murray headed in. Kilmarnock regained the lead through Michael Schjonning-Larsen's superb drive, but Dundee leveled when Imari Samuels split the defense and Scott Wright finished past Roos. The visitors had the chance to snatch all three points in the final attack, but Westley's penalty was saved by Roos. Dundee manager Steven Pressley criticized the lack of investment in technology, which he believes makes it difficult for officials to make correct decisions. Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann felt his side should have won, but was confident in their ability to climb the table.
