Ayr United will be looking to end a run of two successive defeats when Greenock Morton visit Somerset Park on Saturday, August 29. The match gives Gary Naysmith’s side an opportunity to respond after a difficult spell that has included losses to Raith Rovers and Kilmarnock.
Ayr looking for a response
Ayr were beaten 2-0 by Raith Rovers in their most recent match. The defeat came after Leon King was shown an early red card, leaving Ayr to deal with the consequences for much of the game.
That result followed a derby defeat to Kilmarnock in the Premier Sports Cup, described in the source as a devastating loss. Ayr will now seek a positive result in front of the home support at Somerset Park.
Morton still searching for first league points
Greenock Morton arrive in Ayr having yet to collect a point in the league this season, according to the match preview. That record gives the hosts a chance to respond, although the source does not provide a predicted result or further team news.
Tickets were listed as on sale, priced at £22 for adults, £15 for concessions and juveniles, and £6 for children under 13. Morton supporters were directed to the club’s official website or social-media channels for the ticket-purchase link.
The fixture is at Somerset Park in Craigie, Ayr. The supplied report does not state the year for the August 29 date.
