About our Ayr United news

Latest news on Ayr United, The Honest Men, covering Scottish Championship football, Somerset Park, transfers, fixtures, results, and team updates.

Ayr United Football Club are a Scottish Championship side based in Ayr, South Ayrshire, competing in the second tier of Scottish football. Founded in 1910 through the merger of Ayr Parkhouse and Ayr F.C., the club takes its nickname "The Honest Men" from a line in Robert Burns' celebrated poem "Tam o' Shanter". Playing at Somerset Park, a historic 10,185-capacity stadium designed by renowned architect Archibald Leitch, Ayr United are currently managed by former Celtic captain Scott Brown, who took charge in January 2024.

The club are in their eighth consecutive season in the Scottish Championship following promotion from League One in 2017-18. Ayr United compete alongside clubs including St Johnstone, Partick Thistle, and Raith Rovers in one of Scotland's most competitive divisions. The Honest Men also participate in the Scottish Cup, League Cup, and Challenge Cup, providing multiple opportunities for silverware and memorable cup runs throughout each season.

Somerset Park remains one of Scottish football's traditional grounds, featuring the original Archibald Leitch-designed stand alongside covered terraces and more modern facilities. First commissioned in 1888, the stadium holds a special place in Scottish football history, having hosted international youth matches and becoming the first stadium in Britain to host a UEFA Women's Cup match in 2001. The ground's record attendance of 25,225 was set in September 1969 during a match against Rangers.

With 34 seasons in Scotland's top division and six second-tier championships to their name, Ayr United boast a rich footballing heritage. The club's most successful manager, Ally MacLeod, later went on to manage the Scotland national team, cementing his place in both club and national football history. Since their last top-flight campaign in 1977-78, the club have established themselves as a resilient Championship side with ambitions of returning to the Scottish Premiership.
