Match Report
Dunfermline Athletic booked their place in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup after beating fellow League One high-flyers Ayr United.
The visitors broke the deadlock when Andy Geggan scored his fourth goal of the season.
Ayr began to push forward with Alan Trouten forcing a brilliant save from Pars goalkeeper Sean Murdoch.
Faissal El Bakhtaoui could have increased Dunfermline's lead, but keeper Greg Fleming denied the striker.
