History of the Ayr United v Alloa Athletic fixture

Ayr Utd. prepare to entertain Alloa Athletic at Somerset Park, Ayr on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Honest Men are clearly on top, having won 27 and lost only 10 of the 43 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Somerset Park, Ayr was less than a year ago, in March 2007, as the Honest Men squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 4-3 in a Scottish Division Two match.
