Football fans in Ayrshire can hit the back of the net – by picking up a paper dedicated to the beautiful game across the region.

Extra Time is on sale at all good newsagents, shops and supermarkets throughout Ayrshire from today. Produced by staff from the Ayrshire Post, Irvine Herald and Kilmarnock Standard — who together make up the online Ayrshire Live brand — its 56 pages are packed with engaging interviews and terrific features with all content exclusive to this publication.

From Kilmarnock and Ayr United in the SPFL to the plethora of local clubs in the West of Scotland League (WoSFL), we’ve got our game well and truly covered. Indeed, every one of our 26 SPFL and WoSFL sides receives recognition in Extra Time which is dedicated to celebrating Ayrshire football, with a fair helping of nostalgia thrown in. There are in-depth interviews with Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes, Ayr chief Lee Bullen and Auchinleck Talbot supremo Tommy Sloan who discuss their managerial journeys. ‘Matchnight with the Manager’ provides an insightful look behind the scenes with full dressing room access alongside Chris Strain for Kilwinning Rangers’ recent clash at home to Cumnock.
