The Welshman was replaced by Reilly, making his first start for Dundee, while Dark Blues captain Simon Murray was suspended after receiving a straight red card against the Bairns.
There was a scare for the visitors in the fifth minute when keeper Tobi Oluwayemi hit a clearance straight to Dundee's Callum Jones just outside the box but the midfielder's shot was blocked.
Jones had another opportunity shortly after when Reilly produced a cross from the right but this time Oluwayemi made a vital save to deny the Welshman.
However, Dundee were stunned when the visitors took the lead in the 38th minute. A quick free-kick from inside the Killie half looked certain to be mopped up by Luke Graham but he missed the ball with Kiltie running through on goal before calmly slotting past McCracken.
Dundee finally equalised in the 57th minute as Tony Yogane dug out a cross from the left to the back post with Reilly heading across goal to Hay who nodded home for his first goal for the club.
Hay then had a shot blocked with the ball falling to Reilly and he gave Oluwayemi no chance with a fine curling finish for the winner.
