Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic finish against Dundee
Kilmarnock's Kelle Roos made a pivotal stoppage-time penalty save from Dundee's Joe Westley, securing a potentially vital point for his team in their fight against relegation. The match ended 2-2, with a frenetic conclusion that saw a penalty awarded to Dundee after a foul by Jamie Brandon on Scott Wright. Following a lengthy VAR review to check for offside, the penalty was confirmed, but Roos guessed correctly to make the save. Kilmarnock remains in the relegation play-off spot, narrowing the gap to St Mirren to two points. The home team started brightly, with Luke Graham's poor header leading to Bruce Anderson, who set up Joe Hugill for the opener. Dundee equalized against the run of play through Simon Murray's header from a Tony Yogane cross. Kilmarnock regained the lead with a superb Michael Schjonning-Larsen strike, but Dundee leveled through Scott Wright's finish after a pass from Imari Samuels. The visitors had the final chance to snatch all three points but were denied by Roos' penalty save. Dundee manager Steven Pressley expressed frustration with the technology used for VAR decisions, stating it is not fit for purpose and puts undue pressure on officials. Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann felt his team should have won but was confident in their ability to climb the table with continued strong performances.
