Scott Brown says he will head for the January sales to help Ayr keep pace in the Championship title race.United drew a blank despite a dominant display against Morton this afternoon as they missed the chance to move second in the table.Victory would have seen Ayr leapfrog Livingston and edge within five points of Falkirk at the summit.

But a host of missed opportunities came back to bite on a frustrating day at Somerset.Brown said: "We had 15 shots on goal but only three on target - that's the disappointment.

We were by far the better team and the only one who looked like they were going to score."It would have been a fantastic couple of weeks for us after the wins over Falkirk and Livingston but these things happen.

We now have to bounce back and go again - but that means scoring a goal."To do that we'll need to be better in the final third.
