Hamilton’s Season So Far
Hamilton’s season started with a disastrous defeat away at Annan in the Betfred Cup and after draws with Livingston and Airdrieonians and a 4-0 win at Berwick, it was not enough to progress from the group.
Accies opened their Premiership campaign with a 4-1 defeat at home to Hearts but followed that up with a welcome 1-0 win at Fir Park in the Lanarkshire derby.
Accies however went to lose their next three games to Celtic, St Johnstone and Livingston before defeating St Mirren 3-0.
They couldn’t build on that win however as The Dee departed from New Douglas Park with a well-deserved 2-0 win in their next match.
This was followed up with two heavy defeats at Hibernian (6-0) and at home to Rangers to Rangers (1-4) but they stopped the rot with a well earned point at Rugby Park against in form Kilmarnock.
A midweek trip to Aberdeen saw a 3-0 loss for the Accies but again they recovered against an in form side with a 1-0 at home to Livingston.
A tough 4-0 defeat in Perth came next and this was followed by a 3-0 defeat at home to Celtic and the Dark Blues added to Accies’ misery at the start of December with a 4-0 win at Dens.
Since then Hamilton have only scored twice in a 1-1 draw at home to Killie and a in a 2-1 defeat to Motherwell and have also lost to Hibs, Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen and Celtic and to St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup.
After their loss to Celtic, Accies manager Martin Canning left the club by mutual consent after a run of five consecutive defeats and was replaced by former St Mirren assistant Brian Rice.
His first game in charge was against Dundee and after his side earned a draw with an injury time equaliser, Accies followed this up with a win against St Johnstone.
After defeats to Hibs and Rangers, Accies picked up three points in a stunning 2-0 victory at Pittodrie with a stunning goal from George Oakley and won again at home to Hearts two weeks later.
In the lead up to the split Hamilton lost 5-0 at Killie and in the two post split games have picked up two points from two home games.
