Scott Brown exhorts Ayr United to expand on their Rangers Cup display by going back to league competition.

The gaffer is keen to see Ayr make progress up the table and Saturday’s trip to Airdrie presents a big chance to do just that.

After Ayr’s performance in the Scottish Cup at Ibrox on Saturday night, Scott Brown has given the order to focus solely on league affairs.

Brown wants his team to draw confidence from United’s impressive performance against

Philippe Clement’s Light Blues on the grand stage. United received a lot of praise for their effort.

This Saturday, Ayr will go to Airdrie in hopes of winning their third straight game against Reece McCabe’s team.

If United wins, they would overtake the Diamonds in the Championship standings,

and Brown is aware that these are going to be crucial weeks as the regular season draws to a close.

“The boys dealt well with the pressure on Saturday and tried to play football whenever they had the chance,

” he told the Ayrshire Post. We tried to control the ball where we could,

as evidenced by the fact that we went to Ibrox and had about 36% possession.

Few teams will travel there and take that action.

“Going ahead in the league, it’s about leveraging that expertise and improving on it.

That is our main source of income. In the upcoming weeks,

we’ll be put to the test in a variety of ways, so we’ll need to demonstrate our versatility.

Airdrie, a team that enjoys playing excellent football and isn’t scared to play out from the back,

is a wonderful example of that this Saturday.

“I saw them play Hearts yesterday, and under Reece, they’re winning.

However, we also have talented players, so this is our opportunity to shine.

The boys will be prepared even though it will undoubtedly be a vastly different strategy from the Rangers game.

Since Steven Whittaker and I entered the room, they’ve had to process a lot of information, but they’re eager to learn and adjust quickly.

Following their taste of action off the bench at Ibrox, Scott Tomlinson and Max Guthrie,

Brown also promised to keep giving young players a chance.

The manager went on, “The boys have been putting in a lot of work in training, so if they deserve the opportunity, they’ll get it.”
