O'Donnell helped Motherwell to a fine win over Dundee United
Motherwell captain Phil O'Donnell has died after collapsing towards the end of his side's Scottish Premier League game against Dundee United.
The 35-year-old midfielder fell to the ground just as he was about to be replaced with Marc Fitzpatrick near the end of Motherwell's 5-3 victory.
O'Donnell was treated for around five minutes on the field before being taken to a waiting ambulance.
But his death was later confirmed by the Fir Park club
Thats so sad and scary all at the same time.
Sympathies to any Motherwell supporters and of course friends and family.
Shocked. 35 years old! Same age as me
