Can Hamilton escape SPL bottom place?
Important Lanarkshire derby looms
When these clubs met recently, Hamilton manager Billy Reid ended up on his backside celebrating a goal for his club. He will once again be looking to getting up off the bottom but this time, it is his club that are at the bottom…of the SPL.
Hamilton have a game in hand over Falkirk and even a point at Fir Park would see them escape the bottom spot.
As everyone in Scottish football knows, the pitch at Fir Park is a disgrace and the condition could have an influence on the outcome of the match. Then again, it is not as if the SPL is full of silky ball-players so perhaps the impact on the game is over-stated.
Motherwell are able to bring back Giles Coke from suspension but the biggest omission could be for Hamilton. Loan striker Mickael Antoine-Curier underwent surgery this week and his absence will dampen Hamilton’s ability to grab goals.
That is not to say that they are entirely toothless but with the Dundee striker on board, they would have a better chance.
A win for Hamilton would rocket them up to tenth whereas a home win would see Craig Brown open up a five point lead over Hearts.
Who will be the pride of Lanarkshire?
