During Kilmarnock’s recent match against Celtic at Rugby Park, Liam Donnelly was cautioned after a contentious incident involving Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. As Kilmarnock tried to claw their way back into the game, which Celtic was leading 2-0, Donnelly aggressively pursued Schmeichel as the latter passed the ball to teammate Auston Trusty. Donnelly’s challenge, appearing close to an elbow on Schmeichel, sparked a heated reaction from both Schmeichel and Trusty, who confronted him immediately.
Referee Nick Walsh opted for a yellow card, a decision VAR upheld. Commentator Billy Dodds noted that Donnelly’s arm made contact post-kick, which could have led to a more severe punishment. Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes, however, focused on other aspects post-match, especially Celtic fans’ behavior during the Remembrance Day moment of silence, expressing disappointment over disruptions. The tension reflects the intensity of the game and the rivalry, as Kilmarnock faced a resilient Celtic side determined to maintain their winning form.
