Match Preview
Moffat back for Ayr Scottish Cup heroes Ayr United add cup tied striker Michael Moffat to the squad that defeated SPL side Hibernian on Tuesday night for the visit of Peterhead. Moffat can return but defenders Dean Keenan and Bobby Donnelly remain out through injury and midfielder Alan Trouten is a doubt because of a knock. Attempts to add to manager Brian Reid's squad have so far proved fruitless with the Somerset Park boss telling everyone at the club to keep their feet on the ground. Reid said: "It was a great night against Hibs but we are right back into the nitty-gritty of the league now and I want us to get three points to keep right on the heels of Livingston. "We have to be up for this game as Peterhead are a tough side and a much better team than their league position suggests." Peterhead will have striker Martin Bavidge available. Bavidge had work commitments in America which kept him out of Tuesday's night's 6-1 Scottish Cup defeat from St Mirren but is back and in contention. Defender Bobby Mann remains out with an ankle knock with Daniel Moore and Dennis Wyness restricted to substitute roles as they recover from injury. Blue Toon boss Neale Cooper is confident that his side will have recovered from their heavy loss from the SPL side. He said: "There was never that gap between the sides and I have told the boys to remember how well they did to force the replay. "We cannot feel sorry for ourselves as I am sure Ayr will be buoyant after their success and out to keep the good times going there by defeating us."

Match Report
Peterhead battle back Peterhead produced an entertaining comeback to wipe out a two-goal deficit and draw 2-2 with Ayr. Ayr surged into the lead with two penalties inside the opening 30 minutes. The first came after 12 minutes when Stuart Ross fouled Andy Rodgers and Mark Roberts converted, with Stuart Smith fouling Jonathan Tiffoney for the second after 29 minutes, which was also tucked away by Roberts. Peterhead were fearless after the interval, though, with Graeme Sharp pulling one back after 54 minutes with an 18-yard shot. The visitors then equalised after 64 minutes as David Ross scored a left-footed effort. The game nearly turned on its head with Ross and Martin Bavidge having good efforts saved by Ayr keeper David Crawford. The result sees Ayr stay second and miss out on the chance of going top.
