Ayr took the lead (header from a free-kick, 18). 2 mins later Dolan was sent off (2nd yellow). Strangely, even with 10 men, Thistle took over as Ayr switched off and McLean scored from close in (goalmouth stramash after a free-kick, 57). Sub Hardie drove in the winner (77) for 4 goals in 3 sub appearances.
