Match Preview
New boys in for Airdrie Airdrie have bolstered their squad ahead of the visit of Ayr United by signing former Dundee United and Ross County midfielder Grant Smith and Kilmarnock youngster Graeme Owens. Defender Kieron Stallard will miss out through suspension, but midfield playmaker Ryan McCord is available after a ban. The Diamonds have won their last two games, but manager Jimmy Boyle said: "Two wins and two clean sheets has been excellent but Ayr are coming here hurting after a poor result at Stenhousemuir. "They are a very good side so we need to be prepared for any backlash from them for their midweek disappointment." Ayr United are hoping that Willie Easton and Ryan McCann can shake off illness and injury respectively to start. Dean Keenan and Bobby Donnelly remain sidelined and they have been joined on the sidelines by back-up goalkeeper Ryan McWilliams. Manager Brian Reid has let trialist Darren McLean leave after he featured in the maximum permitted three games. Reid said: "The two sides know each other really well and the games between us are usually feisty affairs and hopefully that is all the motivation we will need to get going again."

Match Report
Clinical Ayr hammer Airdrie Ayr completed a double over Airdrie by cruising to a 5-0 victory thanks to a clinical second-half display. The first half provided little action with both teams unwilling to commit too many men forward. But the deadlock was broken just after the break when Paul Willis converted from six yards for his first of the season. Ayr doubled their lead 12 minutes later when top-scorer Mark Roberts' audacious 35-yard effort flew past goalkeeper Mark Ridgers. Those goals stunned the home team who never looked like getting back in the game. Any hope of a comeback was extinguished by Michael Moffat's 68th-minute strike. Scott McLaughlin made it four with a low effort 10 minutes from time and, after being brought down by Euan Grant, Andy Rodgers added further gloss from the penalty spot.
