Hamilton Academical FC
One In, One Coming
4.45pm News: It has been a mighty busy day paperwork wise at NDP with two transfers on the go. We can now confirm we have secured 23 year old former Falkirk striker Mark Stewart on a 'loan basis' from Bradford City until the end of the season. International clearance came in a short while ago. We have just completed the administration (via FIFA, SFA, SFL and English FA and Conference) to secure our 22 year old former midfielder Jon Routledge (left) on a 'loan basis' from Stockport County until the end of the season, and clearance is awaited shortly for which we are hopeful. Jon scored once in 26 appearances for us last season in the SPL. All being well, both are added to tomorrow's squad for the match v Raith Rovers.
6.25pm News: Clearance now in for Jon Routledge
Accies V Raith Rovers Preview
Accies should be at full strength for the visit of Raith Rovers to New Douglas Park on Saturday. Mark McLaughlin (left) is now free of suspension however, he is now likely to be out for a couple of weeks with an infection unfortunately. There is also an illness doubt over another player. Grant Anderson is available again after injuring his knee v St Mirren but Grant Gillespie is still sidelined. Billy Reid is trying to add a couple more to the squad (see story above). Accies have been playing better recently and will want to repeat their form from the last home league game, when they defeated Partick Thistle. Greig Spence grabbed the winner in that game and was also a goalscorer at Ayr last weekend in a game that Accies really should have won. Rovers have been in relatively poor form recently with their last win coming at Firhill before Christmas. They did defeat Accies at Kirkcaldy in November however and gained a draw in the first match at NDP in September so Accies will be looking to defeat them for the first time this term. John Baird has been their main threat with 10 goals to his name, but they have also recently snapped up former Accies man Damian Casalinuovo to boost their attacking options.
Another Friday Football Fixture
Reserves Draw
Season Ticket Vouchers
Season ticket holders will be aware that their season books contain up to three 'bring a friend for free' vouchers. This effectively allows the season ticket holder, when presenting their ticket book to the turnstile attendant, to hand over a voucher, as well as that day's particular game voucher and bring a friend or family member on a complimentary basis.
These vouchers will be valid across the following two fixtures in the Irn Bru SFL1 - the rearranged home game with Morton (no date set yet, but likely to be mid-late February) and the home game with Ross County on Saturday 10th March.
Meanwhile, the reserves will be at home to Queen of the South in a rearranged match in the Reserve League Cup this coming Monday, 23rd January, at NDP, kick off 7.30pm
Ronnie MacDonald Interview
Friday, 13 January 2012 23:42
Accies Chairman Ronnie MacDonald spoke to the website prior to the Partick Thistle game on Friday. He spoke about the financial position of the club, Alex Neil's long term role and his hopes for the future of the club amongst many issues. Please note that this is a half hour interview and, as it was carried out in a club office on match day, there are a couple of rather noisy interruptions. However, this is not the BBC, so the interruptions and one usage of bad language by an unnamed club employee have not been edited out.
