Match Preview
Tomsett teams up with Ayr Ayr have added Blackpool youngster Liam Tomsett to their squad ahead of their match against visiting Hamilton. Tomsett, who arrives on loan, joins fellow Bloomfield Road player Adam Dodd at the club. Martyn Campbell and Alan Trouten are major doubts, but goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert is over the ankle injury he suffered against Falkirk last week and will feature. Somerset Park boss Brian Reid said: "We have played well in both of our games against Hamilton so far this season, even the one they beat us at the start of the season. "It is really important that we do well in this game as we have a break from league fixtures for a couple of weeks and I do not want to be going into it on the back of a defeat." Hamilton will be without striker Dougie Imrie, who has joined SPL St Mirren, and defender Mark McLaughlin, who completes a two-game ban. On-loan signings Jon McShane and Danny Redmond are available after missing out on the 1-0 defeat to St Mirren in the Scottish Cup in midweek through ineligibility, with Alex Neil also expected to return after injury. New Douglas Park manager Billy Reid said: "We played well in midweek but it is back to the bread and butter stuff now. "We will miss Dougie but someone else now has the chance to grab goals for us. "We have won our last two league games and it would be great to make it three and get into the top half of the table."

Match Report
Hamilton battle back Hamilton overturned a two-goal deficit to earn a point against struggling Ayr in a 2-2 draw. The hosts went ahead after 32 minutes when midfielder Adam Dodd rifled a 30-yard free-kick into the top corner after Alex Neil had fouled Michael McGowan. They doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time when Edward Malone turned in from close range. But the visitors fought back just 37 seconds after the restart when Greig Spence supplied the finishing touch to Jon McShane's cross. And they were back on level terms in the 53rd minute when Neil atoned for his earlier foul by setting up Daniel Redmond to slot home from 12 yards. Ayr are still two points away from safety having drawn three of their last four games.
