Match Report
Ayr United moved out of the Scottish League One relegation zone with a comfortable win over already demoted Stirling Albion.
Nicky Devlin put Ayr ahead early on when he nodded in Adam Blakeman's cross.
Devlin returned the favour by supplying the cross for Blakeman's headed goal.
Albion's Lee Hamilton was sent off for handball and Jon-Paul McGovern converted the resulting penalty before Blakeman slotted in Ayr's fourth.
Ian McCall's side lead Stenhousemuir by two points going into next week's final round of fixtures. Second-bottom Stenny will seek to move out of the relegation play-off place when they face Stirling while Ayr visit at Forfar Athletic.
