Dundee boss Tony Docherty has confirmed Julien Vetro has recovered from his medical incident ahead of their Kilmarnock clash.
The Dark Blues won a crucial Premiership fixture in dramatic fashion with Vetro’s fellow Frenchman Ziyad Larkeche scoring a 95th-minute winner.
The Dens Park meeting was delayed until to 3.15pm for what was initially described as an “incident in the stadium”.
Speaking after the 3-2 win, manager Docherty confirmed Vetro had lost consciousness pre-match and was taken to hospital.
However, he was quickly released and made it back to the stadium to rejoin his team-mates before full-time.
Docherty said: “It was very unsettling. Credit to the players for dealing with the way they dealt with it.
“Julien had an episode in the changing room when we were all sitting just waiting for me to address the team.
“He just fainted, I think. He was taken up to hospital for a precaution. But he’s fine now, I’m glad to say.
“It’s not nice for the players to see that. It was very worrying at the time. We’ve had a similar situation earlier on this season with Big Mo Sylla.
“It’s difficult for the players and staff to see that but they showed strength of character, real mentality and real resilience.
“Julien is in the dressing-room now celebrating.
“He went to hospital for a precaution but he’s fine.”
