Aberdeen 0 Hamilton 0: Rice pleased to be off bottom despite penalty frustration

dailyrecord.co.uk:

After picking up a point in the goalless draw against Aberdeen, Accies leapfrogged Kilamrnock into 11th place. The Ayrshire side are still without a win under Tommy Wright after losing to relegation rivals Ross County but Rice knows it's only the final standings that hold significance.

He said: "We are off the bottom and it's nice to be off the bottom. But it doesn't mean too much at this minute of time."We need to be there in the middle of May but it's a step in the right direction.

It's been a tough four days, St Johnstone had just won the cup but we got a point there. "For Hamilton to come up to Aberdeen and keep a clean sheet at any time is a great achievement and the point today is most welcome."Accies had a strong case for a penalty.
