Motherwell midfielder Phil O'Donnell has died after collapsing during his side's 5-3 win over Dundee United.
O'Donnell collapsed to the ground as he was about to be substituted at Fir Park and received five minutes' treatment before being stretchered to an ambulance.
But Motherwell chairman Bill Dickie has confirmed that the 35-year-old has died after being taken to hospital.
Speaking after the game, before news of O'Donnell's death had come through, Well manager Mark McGhee confirmed the substitution was 'a coincidence'.
McGhee later replaced David Clarkson - O'Donnell's nephew - who had been shaken up by the incident.
"We took Clarkson off because he got a fright from the nature of the collapse," said McGhee.
"A few of the boys got a fright."
O'Donnell started his career at Motherwell before leaving for Celtic in 1994 and then joining Sheffield Wednesday five years later.
He returned to Fir Park in January 2004 and was captain of a Well side who have been performing above expectations this season.
