Incident is at 8:45
I thought any handball by the attacking team 'immediately' before a goal is scored, means the goal is not allowed. I think we can agree the 1 second it takes for the ball to hit the Kilmarnock players arm, (which is absolutely in a natural position and is no way deliberate) constitutes as immediate.
So my take is on the law wording below. It has to be the same player that scores.
Law 12.1
It is an offence if a player:
Scores in the opponents’ goal:
- Immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental
