Division 1 – Ex Preston North End Manager Takes Commanz
Having just escaped relegation the previous season results in the early part of this season were suggesting relegation was on the cards at the end of this season.
So after a number of years of managerial stability Ayr changed their manager in an attempt to change their fortunes.
New manager Alex Gibson was a former Kilmarnock chairman and ex-manager of Preston North End. He managed to steady the club, finishing in 17th position but a substantial 10 points above relegation.
