Hamilton meet Falkirk in the Premiership play-off semi-final,
Latest: Hamilton 1 (Andreu)- Falkirk 0 (Aggregate score 2-1)
BBC Scotland’s Kenny Crawford at New Douglas Park;
“In Louis Longridge, a wide attacking player who loves to take on defenders and drive towards goal, and Tony Andreu, a more central attacking midfielder, Hamilton have definitely got two players ready for Scottish Premiership football. Both are a joy to watch.”
They may be ready for the Championship too. Our previous signings from Hamilton have done us proud. Perhaps we should look at these two as well.
Accies now play struggling Hibs in a two-legged final, home on Wednesday, away on Sunday. They appear to have a good keeper too!
From BBC Sport; Experienced Falkirk defender David McCracken misjudged a bouncing ball and was out-muscled by Jason Scotland, who cut back for Andreu to finish from six yards.
Accies’ Kevin Cuthbert made three wonderful saves. Mark Beck, Will Vaulks and Conor McGrandles were all denied during a sparkling performance by the goalkeeper.
And another Wigan link – Jon Routledge was playing.
This hasn’t been Jon Routledge’s season. At least not so far. Not only has the 24-year-old Hamilton Academical midfielder been deemed fit enough to start just eight matches during this campaign due to a knee problem, the Scouser watched his beloved Liverpool self-combust in the final few weeks of the season, then saw former club Wigan crash out to QPR in the English Championship play-offs during the week, days after his own club’s promotion bid fell short behind Dundee on the last day of the season by a mere two points.
Salvation, however, could still be lurking around the corner. Victory against Falkirk this afternoon would see Hamilton enter a two-legged play-off against Hibernian, handing Routledge the chance to return triumphantly to the Scottish top flight which he graced with Accies back in 2010.

Jason Scotland came on as a sub.
Attendance – just 5,322. Let’s see how many watch the second leg.
Gary Caldwell who was a guest summariser said that Jason Scotland had pace, power and knew how to score goals.

With an average attendance of under 1,500 surely 5,322 is deemed as a cracking gate! :dry:

Cracking following from Hibs
With an average attendance of under 1,500 surely 5,322 is deemed as a cracking gate! :dry:I’m not criticising the Accies fans. It’s probably their biggest turn out of the season.
But Wigan – also in the Championship play offs – have an average attendance ten times that of Hamilton. And – as Egg suggests – there can’t have been many Hibs fans there.
It’s another indication of the sad state of Scottish football. The Old Firm apart, there is hardly a club that could compete economically in the English Championship.
How can you say that “It’s another indication of the sad state of Scottish football.
The population of Scotland is 5 million judging that most would support the Glasgow clubs it dont leave much for the rest to pick up
as Egg suggests – there can’t have been many Hibs fans there.There were plenty of Hibs fans there. Sold out their allocation I believe.
Apologies – I misunderstood.
If Hamilton are successful, Hibernian will be allocated 2,700 spread over the North Stand and the East Stand.
If Hibs took up their full allocation, then there were only 2,622 Hamilton fans there, fewer than Hibs had!
Capacity is 6,000, all seated – some seats would probably be empty to segregate the fans.
How can you say that “It’s another indication of the sad state of Scottish football.What has happened to the great Scottish players that most First Division teams used to rely on?
What has happened to the great competition between the Old Firm?
What has happened to the great Scottish clubs who reached several European finals?
What has happened to the Scottish national team that regularly qualified for the World Cup?
Surely Scotland could still produce good players, even if it can’t afford to keep them at Scottish clubs.
