It was a landmark day at the start of a quite remarkable week in the history of Ayr United.The club’s first – and still to this day only – national cup final.By trains, planes and automobiles, Honest Men and Bonnie Lassies descended on a sunkissed Hampden Park on Sunday, March 17, 2002.The date had been etched on calendars since the moment Eddie Annand’s dramatic semi final spot kick against Hibs sealed Ayr’s unlikely passage to the final.Club historian, Duncan Carmichael, famously compared the wait for that penalty to be taken to that of “an expectant father in a maternity ward”.Annand’s dead eye would seal a David vs Goliath tussle as Ayr went up against the might of Rangers in the CIS Cup Final.Nobody gave United a chance on that day in
