Celtic loanee scores in record-breaking win for Scott Brown's Ayr

Celtic loanee Lenny Agbaire netted his first career goal as Scott Brown's Ayr secured a record-breaking victory on Saturday.

The Honest Men travelled to face Lowland League side Broxburn Athletic in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup and came away dominant 8-0 winners.

Agbaire, who made the move to Ayr on loan from Celtic last week, opened the scoring 16 minutes in with a towering back-post header.

It was the teenage central defender's first start for the club, and he couldn't have marked it in a better fashion as he bagged the maiden senior goal of his young career.

Ayr went on to score seven more after that, securing the biggest competitive away win in the club's history.

Ex-Celtic captain Brown has guided his side into the draw for the fifth round, with things going swimmingly for his team in the Championship, too.

Indeed, Ayr trail league-leaders Falkirk by just two points and remain two clear of third-placed Livingston.

A promotion push is well underway at Somerset Park, with United looking to enter Scotland's top flight for the first time since 1978.
