What happened in Ayr Utd’s latest outing?

Why it matters for Ayr Utd
League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 7th in Championship, 39 pts, 8W-15D-13L from 36 games, recent form LLLWL. Goals this season: 38 scored, 47 conceded (-9 goal difference). Title race: 38 points behind leaders ST Johnstone. Last result: Ayr Utd 0-1 ST Johnstone (2026-05-01). Recent form (last 5): 0W-0D-5L (LLLLL, most recent first); lost the last 5. The loss extends a poor run of form that has seen Ayr Utd pick up just one point from their last five league games. Their 39 points from last season leave them well adrift of the play-off places and under pressure to improve quickly.
What comes next for Ayr Utd?
Ayr Utd’s next fixture is scheduled for April 3, 2027, with further matches on April 10, 17, 24 and 30. The squad must regroup fast if they are to avoid a repeat of last season’s struggles. With 38 goals scored and 47 conceded, defensive frailties remain a major concern for manager Lee Bullen and his players.
