Match Report


Raith Rovers missed the opportunity to go third in the Championship as Gary Harkins cracked in a late goal for Ayr United at Stark's Park.

Joel Coustrain shot the Fifers ahead on 16 minutes but the home side lost Kyle Benedictus to a second yellow card before the interval.

Ayr dominated thereafter but had Paul Cairney dismissed for a bad tackle.

However, the visitors were rewarded for their pressure when Harkins found the net with a fantastic free kick.

Robert Crawford almost won it for the visitors in stoppage time but Kevin Cuthbert tipped his shot over.
