Match Report
An early burst of goals set Morton on their way to victory against Ayr United to go top of the First Division.
Peter MacDonald's 25-yard free kick put the hosts ahead on 10 minutes and Andy Jackson quickly doubled the lead with a right-foot strike.
MacDonald slid home Jackson's pass to give Morton a 3-0 lead on 13 minutes.
An 88th-minute penalty by Mark Roberts reduced Ayr's deficit but Peter Weatherson converted a spot-kick of his own a minute later for Morton.
