Match Preview
McWilliams handed rare Ayr start Ayr will have youngster Ryan McWilliams in goal against Dumbarton. McWilliams will come into the side in place of David Crawford, who is suspended for the visit of the pointless visitors. Centre-back Bobby Donnelly and midfielder Scott Taggart are both injury doubts but defender Martyn Campbell and striker Andy Rodgers are both available for selection following bans. Reid is keen that his side get their first three points on board after allowing a two goal lead slip last Saturday. He said: "You need to win your home games to do anything in this league and that is our aim for the visit of Dumbarton. "They need a win as well to get going and I am obviously hoping that they have to wait longer than we do." Dumbarton manager Jim Chapman is waiting on the fitness of Ross Campbell. Former Hibs and Dunfermline frontman Campbell is rated as extremely doubtful with a knock but Chapman has no other injury concerns. Chapman said: "I know that Ayr is a tricky place to go to and that Brian Reid's side like to play football. "They have good players with plenty of experience and I reckon they will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season. "We competed really well against Livingston last week and another display like that will see us do okay."

Match Report
Maxwell gaffe brightens Ayr Paul Maxwell`s own goal saw Ayr seal their first victory of the season as they defeated Dumbarton 1-0 at Somerset Park. It was enough to give the hosts the win midway through the first half as he diverted an uncleared corner past his own goalkeeper. Scott McLaughlin nearly doubled the hosts' advantage shortly after half-time but The Sons goalkeeper Stephen Grindley was equal to the 20-yard effort. The visitors pressed hard to find an equaliser but Derek Carcary and Jon McShane found home goalkeeper Alan Main unbeatable as they tested him late on. The result leaves Dumbarton bottom of the table with no points, having lost all three of their league games so far this campaign.
