QoS v AYR (tomorrow)

Ayr United manager Campbell Money includes central defender Willie Kinniburgh in his side to face league leaders Queen of the South tomorrow after signing the central defender on loan from Motherwell until January.

Under new transfer regulations, Scottish League clubs are now allowed to sign up to two players during the period when the transfer window is closed. Money said: "I had tried to get Willie here during the summer but Motherwell did not want to allow him to come to us at the time. But I have kept my eye on him and as soon as I heard about the new regulations I was back onto Terry Butcher."
