Partick Thistle ended their wait for an away win as Danny Mullen’s goal saw off Scottish Championship promotion rivals Ayr 1-0.

Mullen’s 32nd-minute header earned Thistle a first win on the road since October 15 and moved them a point off the play-off places as interim boss Kris Doolan took charge for the first time.
