Queen's Park 2-5 Ayr United: Big away win for visitors in Scottish Championship

Ahkeem Rose (number nine) scored the third Ayr goal at Hampden

Ayr United secured their second Scottish Championship win of the season and moved to within three points of fifth-placed opponents, Queen's Park.

Two left-footed Logan Chalmers strikes put Ayr in command before Ruari Paton struck to halve Queen's Park's deficit.

Shots by Ahkeem Rose and Jamie Murphy gave the visitors a three-goal lead before the break.

In the second period, Barry Hepburn got one back for the hosts but Anton Dowds quickly netted Ayr's fifth.

There are four more second-tier games on Saturday.
