There we have it. Ayr, for the time being, go six points clear, while Accies stay anchored to the bottom of the Championship table.

Arbroath v Cove Rangers tomorrow is one to keep an eye on. A home win would leave Hamilton stranded at the bottom by themselves. An away win would pull Cove away from their fellow strugglers.

Elsewhere, Dundee take on Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle travel to Morton and Queen's Park host Inverness Caley Thistle.

And that's not to mention the six Premiership games tomorrow. What more could you want?

See you tomorrow.

Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin tells BBC Scotland: "I thought we were dominant over the 90 minutes. We played some really good football with a really good style of play, but ultimately, if you leave the league's most dangerous man in the middle of your six-yard box and allow him to take a touch, it's hugely frustrating.

"We played some really good football and it's really disappointing to come away from that with nothing from the game.

"I feel for the players, I thought they gave us everything. The way they played, the energy, the tempo they played with was all pleasing, but that doesn't win you three points. We need to be more ruthless in both boxes."

Ayr United manager Lee Bullen tells BBC Scotland: "Massively relieved because tonight we were second best. Hamilton were better than us.

"We were really off the levels that we've been at to get ourselves into the position that we are. The only bits of quality we showed was in front of goal.

"We're a very, very lucky team tonight. Hamilton never let us get going. That's as tough a game as we will have this season.

"If we've got any ambitions of being semi-successful in this league, we've got to be better than tonight."

The player of the match, Ayr United striker Dipo Akinyemi, tells BBC Scotland: "The first half was tough, I was up there by myself. But we were resilient, you saw the togetherness that we have and that's why we're top of the league at the moment.

"Anyone can beat anyone in this league, but these are the sort of games where we've got to be strong and trust goals will come.

"I didn't think three goals was a drought, but I had to get the record back on track."

Well, didn't that game just have it all.

Accies dominated large swathes of the first half but went in behind after Dipo Akinyemi's early goal.

They responded well in the first half, initially through a Steve Lawson penalty. Akinyemi then got a second but once more, Accies hit back and found a leveller.

But it wasn't to be. Two minutes later, they conceded a penalty and Ben Dempsey dispatched to put Ayr three points clear at the top of the Championship.

Michael Doyle is into the book for a frustrated swipe at Dipo Akinyemi - who has just been awarded the Player of the Match award from co-commentator Kris Doolan.

How did Ayr ot kill this game off?

The visitors break through Daire O'Connor, he finds Mark McKenzie, who is free at the back-post, but the sub puts it straight at the goalkeeper.

He manages to get it back into the middle, though, where Sam Ashford puts it inches wide.

The scorer of Ayr's third, Ben Dempsey, goes into the book after a tangle of legs with Andy Winter.

Dario Zanatta is off, with Ryan One coming on as Accies search for a late equaliser.

Ben Dempsey fires low and hard past goalkeeper Ryan Fulton and the league leaders are back in a winning position.

No hat-trick for Dipo Akinyemi, though. You'd think he might have wanted that one.

Just two minutes on and Accies concede the penalty! Alex Kirk goes to deck and Dan O'Reilly is penalised.

Michael Doyle, the centre back, makes a brilliant run down the wing. He crosses in first time, right into the corridor of uncertainty, and hits off the unfortunate Ecrepont and goes in.

Accies make the change with Andy Ryan going off, a few minutes after receiving treatment on what initially looked a bad injury.

Local lad Lewis Smith is on. Can he make an impact?

Dario Zanatta with a chance, skipping inside and firing hard and low but Ayr goalkeeper Charlie Albinson makes a fine save.

Accies try and come forward again with Patrick Reading going into the book for a cynical foul.

Accies have dominated this game since the third minute, but they're behind.

Finn Ecrepont cuts inside and delivers a perfect ball to Dipo Akinyemi. The striker chests it down, swivels his hips and fires high into the net. Superb stuff.
