Oli Shaw bagged a derby day brace to close in on his career best goals tally - then set his sights on firing Hamilton into the promotion play-off spots.Accies climbed to seventh with a last-gasp win over Airdrie in a five-goal thriller.Shaw struck in stoppage time, having also opened the scoring after 14 minutes, to move them 15 points clear of rock-bottom Airdrie and within 11 points of the top four.And the double took Shaw to 14 goals for the campaign, putting him within two goals of his haul at Kilmarnock in 2021/22.The Championship's top goalscorer said: "To get 14 goals at this stage is great.

I didn't set any targets at the start of this season, I just wanted to come and enjoy myself."When you do that as a striker, you tend to score goals and that's what I have discovered through my career so far."I don't put too much pressure on myself.

I want to help the team as much as I can and as long as I am scoring goals I think we'll be heading in the right direction."I'm on track to beat my best and hopefully I keep scoring."We want to be looking up instead of down.

We want to latch on to the teams above us so it is a massive win for us. We go to Morton next week full of confidence believing we can start the new year in the right way."I think with the squad we've got, why not look at the play-offs.
