Dunfermline Hub
Dunfermline Athletic's new manager Neil Lennon suffered a disappointing debut as his team lost 2-0 to Ayr United. Victor Wanyama, the high-profile signing, was sent off 20 minutes after coming on as a second-half replacement.
What happened?
Ayr United moved back into second place in the Scottish Championship with the win. The match saw Connor McLennan score a fine strike and Jamie Murphy add a cool chip.
Why it matters for Dunfermline
The loss leaves Dunfermline ninth, two points behind Hamilton Academical and six above Airdrieonians. Neil Lennon will have to do without the suspended Wanyama in the next match against Livingston.
What comes next?
Dunfermline faces Livingston on Wednesday, with only six games of the regular season remaining. The team needs to improve its lack of goal threat and belief in the final third, according to Lennon.
