Ayr go three points clear at Scottish League One summit

Ayr moved three points clear at the top of Scottish League One following a 2-0 win at 10-man Forfar.

With second-placed Raith hosting East Fife on Sunday, Ayr made sure they would end the weekend still at the summit.

Michael Moffatt’s fine solo strike in the 10th minute – his 13th goal of the season – gave them the lead at half-time.

They doubled their lead nine minutes from time from the penalty spot after Andy Munroe was dismissed for hauling down Lawrence Shankland, with Craig Moore making no mistake from 12 yards.

Queen’s Park boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation with a 3-2 win at Stranraer.

On-loan Hearts striker Aidan Keena bagged a first-half brace, with the 18-year-old taking his tally to seven goals in eight appearances for the club.

Scott Robertson cut the deficit, Sean Burns restored the two-goal cushion and after Keena was denied a hat-trick after seeing his penalty saved, Scott Agnew grabbed a consolation.

Albion are now just a point ahead of Queen’s Park after a 2-1 home defeat to Arbroath.

Alan Trouten’s 27th goal of the season gave Albion an early lead before Omar Kader and Ryan Wallace’s penalty completed the Arbroath comeback.

Alloa and Airdieonians drew 2-2 in the other match, with Iain Flannigan and Kevin Cawley’s goals for the hosts being cancelled out by Dale Carrick and Daryl Duffy.

Ryan Conroy missed a penalty for the visitors with the score at 1-1.
