STAR RATINGS (*****)

Halliwell *** Very little involvement in the match.
Mensing *** Solid without being spectacular.
Kernaghan *** A full season is more than possible.
McLaughlin *** Flashes of his old form and fitness.
Fraser *** Worked hard without much reward.
Ross **** Always a threat going forward, a fine display.
Hagen *** Saw a lot of the ball again before taking a nasty knock.
Millen ** One of Andy’s quietest games for a long time.
Keogh *** A physical battle which he stuck to well
McConalogue *** Looked good when involved.
Harty *** Seems to come alive when inside the box. Encouraging.

Potter *** Same as Mensing.
Halliday *** Very raw, but did well and put in some nice crosses.
Gilhaney **** Only on for 15 minutes or so, but caused all sorts of problems.
Doyle ** Didn’t see much action.

REACTION

ALAN KERNAGHAN – "It was good to win, but I’m more interested in the performance, which I thought was great. At this stage in the season I can’t ask for any more. We looked sharper in front of goal than we have done, defensively we looked good and we dominated the midfield bar a ten minute spell in the second half."

RAY GRAYDON – "Ayr were missing 3 or 4 of their more experienced players on Tuesday night, and I played a different side tonight, so it is hard to compare like with like tonight but we got exactly what I was expecting – a good, competitive game against a big team who are a little bit further ahead than our squad in terms of pre-season training. I thought Clyde moved the ball very well, deserved to win the game and gave us a real test. I’m sure they will do very well this year."
