  • He has now left the club following a run of nine games without a win in all competitions.
  • Ayr were beaten 3-0 by Raith Rovers on Friday night and are now eighth in the Scottish Championship table.
  • Ayr confirmed that Jamie Murphy, Tommy Tait and Dave Timmins would take training on Monday, while adding that there would be further communication over an interim position “in due course”.
