Queen's Park suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Ayr United at The City Stadium on Friday night, a result that leaves them second from bottom in the Scottish Championship. Dylan Watret opened the scoring for the hosts in the 36th minute before Josh Landers doubled the advantage just after the hour mark, with Leon King providing the headed assist.
Ayr's long-awaited win
The victory was Ayr's first of the league campaign, lifting them to sixth place in the standings. For Queen's Park, the loss extends a difficult start to the season, with the team now sitting ninth on just four points from seven matches. Their recent form shows one win, one draw and three defeats from the last five outings.
The damage done
Watret's first-half strike gave Ayr a platform, and Landers' goal shortly after the restart effectively sealed the points. The Spiders have now conceded 11 goals this season while scoring only three, leaving them with a goal difference of minus eight.
Looking ahead
Attention now turns to a key away fixture against Arbroath next Friday. Arbroath currently occupy seventh place, making it a significant opportunity for Queen's Park to halt their slide. The team will need to find a way to convert their performances into points, starting with that trip to Gayfield. Check the upcoming fixtures for the full schedule.
