Kelly father death overshadows Cup victory

Jack Kelly, 59, received emergency treatment yards from the Kilmarnock dugout after his son had helped his team to a 1-0 win over Celtic. Liam Kelly, 22, was told the news as he and his team-mates celebrated on the pitch and was visibly distraught before being moved away from the scene as paramedics treated his father. The rest of the Kilmarnock players lifted the trophy oblivious to the unfolding tragedy but manager Kenny Shiels was aware of the situation and looked on in serious concern. Kelly rushed to the nearby hospital where his father was taken but he died shortly afterwards. The rest of the players were told the news of the death as they toured the Ayrshire town on an open-top bus and Strathclyde Police later confirmed Mr Kelly had died.
