Division 1 – Difficult Return For Ayr
Ayr United survived their return to Division 1 and secured a credible 16th position albeit only 5 points above the relegation battle.
The highlights of the season were some high scoring wins against weaker opposition in the Scottish Cup such as a 9-3 win over Berwick Rangers and 5-1 against Armadale.
