While Germans in  the hot spots of Europe, race for the best sun loungers and the English rush to shelter under the nearest umbrella from the incessant rain covering the country at the moment, Jags fans will be donning their Hawaiian shirts, shorts and sandals for a day out at the seaside, when we travel down to play the mighty Ayr in the first league game of the season on Saturday.

Ian McCall has the pleasant task of picking from a nearly full squad, only Archibald and Kinniburgh are out.
