Ross County 2 Ayr United 1 Ross County stay at the top of Division One thanks to goals from Steven Craig and Richard Brittain at Victoria Park. Craig side-footed home a great pass from Iain Vigurs on 15 minutes. And Brittain added a stunning drive after the Ayr United defence failed to deal with Paul Lawson's corner. Ayr pulled one back on 53 minutes when Mark Roberts smashed home a shot and both teams were reduced to 10 men after County's Alex Keddie and Ayr's Neil McGowan were sent off late on. |
