History of the Airdrie United v Ayr United fixture

Ayr Utd. face a trip to Airdrie United at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Honest Men will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 43 and win only 14 of the 72 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2009, with Ayr Utd. inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Diamonds in an Scottish League Play-Offs (Lvls 2&3) match.
