RANGERS B have been awarded a win in retrospect after Ayr United were found guilty of having fielded ineligible players in their SPFL Trust Trophy clash.
The Championship side won 3-0 on the night but substitutes Kinlay Bilham and Alex Jeanes were not supposed to play as they were on loan at West of Scotland League sides Irvine Meadow and Girvan at the time.
