The father of Kilmarnock midfielder Liam Kelly has tragically passed away after watching his son help Killie defeat Celtic in the Scottish League Cup final earlier today.

Kelly was seen sprinting down the tunnel during the post-match celebrations as the news filtered through.

His father was treated by paramedics near the Kilmarnock dugout before being taken to the Victoria Infirmary, where he later passed away.

The death of Jack Kelly has cast a dark clowd over the club's first League Cup triumph.
