SCOTT BROWN dubbed “relief” his overriding emotion as Ethan Walker's 95th-minute finish stopped Ayr slipping to a third defeat on the spin.

The 22-year-old's third goal of the season clinched a 1-1 Somerset draw with relegation battlers Hamilton on a day Falkirk opened up an 11-point lead at the top.

New Dunfermline boss Neil Lennon - set for a dugout debut against his former Celtic skipper next weekend - looked on as Oli Shaw's 65th-minute goal, his first in the league in 2025, sent Accies in front.

But Walker struck in the fifth minute of added time as the Honest Men moved second on goal difference, albeit having played a game more than Livingston.

Asked for his main emotion, Ayr boss Broonie said: “Relief we managed to get a goal. It shows you the togetherness and the lads’ desire to keep fighting until the last kick of the ball.
