From The Scotsman :
Motherwell captain Phil O’Donnell died on Saturday after he collapsed during his team’s match with Dundee United.
The 35-year-old midfielder fell to the Fir Park ground just as he was about to be replaced by Marc Fitzpatrick. O’Donnell was taken to Wishaw General Hospital where he later died, club chairman Bill Dickie confirmed. He was pronounced dead at 5.18pm.
After been treated for around five minutes on the field the former Celtic player was carried off on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance.
O’Donnell’s nephew, David Clarkson, who also playing in the match, was taken off after being alarmed by the incident.
O’Donnell, who won one Scotland cap, began his career with Motherwell and rejoined the club in 2004 following spells with Celtic, who he joined in a £1.75 million deal in 1994, and Sheffield Wednesday.
