Overview
- A VAR review by referee Matthew MacDermid led to goalkeeper Toby Steward being sent off for handling outside his penalty area early in the match.
- Kilmarnock took the lead from the resulting set-piece through Cathal McCarthy and then went ahead again when Djenairo Daniels scored before half-time.
- St Johnstone fought back with Danny Schmidt and Joel Cotterill equalisers, and substitute keeper Ross Sinclair produced several second-half saves to preserve the draw.
- Manager Simo Valakari dedicated the point to Steward, said the high-keeper tactic is a deliberate risk and reported Schmidt finished with an ankle problem and no available substitutes.
- Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann said conceding set-piece goals to ten men felt like a defeat and the draw moved Killie off the bottom while Saints rose to seventh in the Premiership table.
