Barr's Irn-Bru Scottish League Div Two: AYR UNITED 1 ALLOA ATHLETIC 1

NINETY minutes from the finish title-chasing United saw their title dreams finally bite the dust on Saturday after the Wasps stung them with a late leveller.

The agonising reverse, combined with Raith Rovers' 1-0 triumph at Queens Park ensure the title went to Stark's Park and that United's route to the First Division can only be achieved via the nerve-jangling route of the playoffs.
