Team News

Hamilton Academical
- Neil Lennon and a plethora of Celtic first team stars returned in time for their second consecutive draw with Livingston. The two shared a stalemate at Parkhead before playing out a 2-2 draw in their West Lothian encounter.
- Six changes saw both the goalkeeper and both full-backs drop out with Conor Hazard, Anthony Ralston and Diego Laxalt replaced by Vasilios Barkas, Kristoffer Ajer and Greg Taylor.
- The Hoops will be without the suspended Scott Brown following his red card against the Lions and there was also a differing attacking trio as Ryan Christie, Leigh Griffiths and goalscorer Mohamed Elyounoussi replaced Jeremie Frimpong, Mikey Johnston and Tom Rogic.
- Brian Rice made four changes to the Accies team that fell to a 2-0 defeat to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park before playing out a 0-0 draw at home to Dundee United the weekend before last.
- Kyle Gourlay was replaced by Ryan Fulton in goal, who'll no doubt be pleased with a clean sheet. As will incoming defenders Brian Easton and Aaron Martin, who replaced George Stanger and Charlie Trafford, with Ben Stirling moving to midfield.
- Ross Callachan, Accies' top scorer, continued to support David Moyo in attack. However, Callum Smith was given the nod against United as opposed to Andy Winter. Smith and Moyo have just one goal apiece in the league so far this season.
