Ayr Utd travel to Glasgow to face Queen's Park on Friday evening needing to stop a damaging run of form. The Honest Men have lost four of their last five Championship matches, a sequence that has left them eighth in the table.
Their most recent outing was a home defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle last weekend. Owen Stirton scored a first-half consolation for Ayr, but the result extended a worrying trend. They have conceded goals while scoring only a few so far this season.
Queen's Park, who sit one place below Ayr in ninth, have also struggled for consistency. Their last five games have brought one win, one draw and three defeats, including a loss at Dunfermline last time out.
With both sides in the lower half of the standings, the fixture at The City Stadium carries significant weight. Ayr will be desperate to avoid a third consecutive loss and put distance between themselves and the bottom. The match kicks off on Friday.
