Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin says his side got exactly what they deserved from Ayr, who ran out comfortable 2-0 winners at New Douglas Park.
Hamilton have ran the Honest Men close this season, losing by single-goal margins on two occasions, with a 2-2 draw in their opening encounter.
But a Ben Dempsey penalty in 12 minutes had Ayr off and running and Sam Ashford latched onto Dipo Akinyemi’s through-ball to smash the ball into the bottom right corner in 27 minutes and end the game as a contest.
