Queen of the South and Ayr United take their long winless records into 2017 after a goalless draw in Dumfries.

The hosts are now 13 games since their last league victory, while Ayr have not won in nine Championship outings.

Gary Harkins and Alan Forrest were narrowly off target early on for Ayr, who then hit the crossbar through Daryll Meggatt after 20 minutes.

Stephen Dobbie threatened either side of half-time for Queens and then brought a parry from Greg Fleming after an hour.

Darren Brownlie sent a header over the bar as the hosts pushed for a winning goal late on.

However, both sides had to settle for a point that means Ayr drop to second bottom in the table.
