Kallum Higginbotham missed two late penalties for 10-man Dunfermline Athletic who drew 1-1 with Ayr United.

Higginbotham wasted two chances from the spot in the 83rd and 85th minutes after Paul McMullan then Higginbotham himself were felled in the box.

Nicky Clark had fired the Pars ahead on the half-hour mark.

But Lewis Martin was shown a second yellow when he fouled Scott McKenna in the home box, Alan Forest levelling from the spot before the late drama.
