PENALTY SAVES

Jamie saved six penalty kicks during his time with Killie – all of them in the Scottish Premiership

Jamie MacDonald saves Kyle Lafferty’s penalty.

Four of those saves came in three different matches against his former club Hearts, all at Tynecastle.

• He saved two (from Jamie Walker and Abiola Duada) in a 1-0 defeat on February 27, 2016
• He saved one from Dario Zanatta in a 4-0 loss on December 27, 2016
• He saved in the final minute from Kyle Lafferty in a 1-1 draw on February 27, 2018

Steve Clarke’s first game as Kilmarnock manager on October 25, 2017 saw Jamie save a last-minute penalty from Daniel Candeias, which led to the move for Chris Burke’s memorable equaliser in a 1-1 draw.

His final penalty save came on September 29, 2018 at home to Motherwell as Curtis Main’s effort was saved as Killie recovered to win 3-1.
