ALLOA secured their Second Division survival after coming from behind to grab a point away to Ayr United.

16-year-old Greig Spence collected a Cary Caroll pass with 15 minutes remaining and coolly slid his shot past Stephen Grindlay in the Ayr goal to cancel out Mark Roberts first half headed opener.

Wasps stopper Ray Jellema was the hero - the man from Ayr made two world class saves to deny his home town club the chance of the title.

It means the team can now go in to Saturday's final game of the season against Brechin City with no pressure on them.

Allan Maitland said, 'It was a great point, especially since Ayr had everything to play for.

"I thought we were excellent and our goalkeeper made two magnificent saves in the second half. It is good that we are staying up in a disappointing season."
