Match Report

TTA report

Poor finishing and relegation nerves combined to produce a poor display by Ayr's forwards - not that Thistle were any better. Wallace finished off a move involving all 5 forwards (9) but after that Thistle were seldom seen in attack. Ayr equalised (54) and should have had both points in the bag.
