Match Report


Dunfermline Athletic improved their promotion hopes with their first win in five matches against Ayr United in Scottish League One.

Ross Millen went close for the Pars in the first half, his free-kick rattling the crossbar.

The visitors held out for over an hour but a Nicky Devlin own goal and Andy Geggan's header ended their resistance

And Robbie Crawford's late goal proved a mere consolation for Ayr, who slipped back into the relegation zone.
