McKay the hero

Posted Saturday, April 17, 2010 by PA

Daniel McKay scored a 79th-minute winner for relegation threatened Ayr in a 1-0 win at Partick which moves them to within three points of eighth-placed Morton.

Partick had the best chances of the opening period with Kris Doolan shooting wide when well placed and Martin Grehan missing the target from 12 yards.

Ayr's only clear-cut opportunity before the break came on 29 minutes when Mark Roberts headed straight at Partick goalkeeper Jonathan Tuffey.

Chris Erskine could have given Partick the lead in the second half but he drilled past the post from inside the area he was made to pay for that miss when McKay latched onto a Mark Roberts pass before curling a right footed shot into the top corner.

Partick's Keiran Burns did have a chance to equalise but he was denied by Ayr goalkeeper Craig Samson and Erskine hit an acrobatic effort wide as Ayr held on.
