Hamilton Accies have a fighting chance of avoiding the drop, says No.2

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Darian MacKinnon insists there is no panic at Hamilton Accies as they head towards the turn of the year at the bottom of the Scottish Championship table.The Accies No.2 and boss John Rankin have watched their side win just twice in 17 league games this season, which leaves them two points adrift of ninth place Arbroath and seven off Cove Rangers in eighth spot as they prepare to host mid-table Inverness this Saturday.When asked if there was concern over Hamilton’s league position at this point, MacKinnon said: “Absolutely not, 100 per cent not."There’s not much in the league, and if you go on our last five or six games...

Queen’s Park [a 4-0 defeat] was a sore one. We were comfortable in the game, and then somehow we ended up losing four goals in 23 minutes.

That just sums up where we are just now.“But equally when we play Ayr United, or Partick Thistle, we’ve battered them and came away with nothing."We’re playing okay, we just need to cut out the mistakes.

The good thing is that there aren’t too many teams above us, who are getting away from us, so we’ve still got a good, fighting chance.“But we’re not scoring enough goals and we’re not keeping them out, which is a bad combination.”Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
