 Bone went on to score more than a goal every two games for the Albion before winning an £80,000 move to Ayr United in 1999.Despite scoring on his début for Ayr, Bone spent the final few months of the season on loan, spending time back at Stirling and then latterly at Ross County.Such was his impact at County – he scored in the final four matches of the season – that he moved there on a permanent deal for the start of the next season.
