Jim Duffy’s first game since he was confirmed as Ayr manager ended in defeat as Partick beat his side 4-0 in the cinch Championship.

Ayr were unbeaten in Duffy’s four matches in interim charge following the departure of David Hopkin.

They went 2-0 up shortly before half-time after Cammy Smith scored from Brian Graham’s cross.

After more good work from Tiffoney in the 72nd minute, Rudden got his second.

And Graham rounded off a great day for Partick, who had lost their last three games, when he made it 4-0 five minutes from time.
