This Friday we host Ayr United in a nail-biting 2nd vs 3rd clash in the Scottish Championship, and both teams are hungry to secure their spots in the promotion play-offs. With just 5 points separating the sides going into the last 3 league games of the season, it’s sure to be a cracker.

Fresh off a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Greenock Morton, we’re riding a wave of momentum and have netted an impressive 11 goals in our last 5 matches! We’re currently ranked 3rd at home this season and our sights are firmly set on maximising our points and enhancing our promotion prospects.

Ayr United is coming off a gritty 1-1 draw at home against league leaders Falkirk, and they, too, will be eager to stamp their authority on the promotion play-off race. With 5 goals in their last 5 matches, they have proven to be tough competitors, especially away from home, where they are also ranked 3rd.

Key players will be crucial in this encounter! Scott Pitman, having just celebrated his milestone 50 goals for the club, will be on the hunt for more, while Macaulay Tait’s central presence will be vital in the midfield as we strive for victory.

Historically, we’ve had the upper hand in our encounters with Ayr, winning 4 out of the last 5 matches. Our most recent clash was an exhilarating 2-1 victory back in February after a late free kick from Robbie Muirhead, and we’re eager to capture that winning spirit again.
