Match Report

TTA report

2 Scottish Cup Semi-Finalists took the field for an entertaining match on a sanded pitch. Thistle dominated possession and Cameron had a shot cleared off the line but it was Ayr who scored with a stunning 25-yard drive (59). Fleming equalised 10 minutes later, set up by Hardie. Decent chances were then wasted.

Media report

09-Mar-2002, bbc.com

Scottish League Division One leaders Partick were forced to battle all the way for a point at Ayr as they came from behind to secure a draw. With Alex McLeish, boss of Ayr's CIS Insurance Cup final opponents Rangers, watching from the stands, the home side looked to be heading for three points when Paul Sheerin fired them ahead. But Thistle battled back and Derek Fleming's clinical strike earned them a draw. The visitors had the better first-half chances with Martin Hardie and Martin Cameron both denied by goalline clearances. But after the break Ayr made the breakthrough when Sheerin volleyed the ball home after 59 minutes. The lead lasted only 10 minutes as Fleming pounced on a mistake by David Craig to level.
