Andy Ryan says there is no ill feeling towards team-mate Scott Martin after the pair almost came to blows during Hamilton's defeat to Partick Thistle.And the striker insists the matter is finished as they now turn their focus to tomorrow's trip to the Highland to face Inverness Caledonian Thistle.Martin shoved Ryan in the chest after being on the end of a verbal volley from the striker in the aftermath of Thistle's winning goal, which saw Martin turned inside out by Scott Tiffoney at a short corner before the Jags man dispatched his shot into the bottom corner.However, Ryan played down the incident and says it just showed how keen bottom of the table Accies are to turn their fortunes around after one win in 10 games this season.He said: "Look, it’s done.

What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch."As soon as we come off, that’s it, that's the way I see it."It was just two guys desperate to win.

Scotty is the exact same type of character as me. Even if it’s five-a-side in training or with your mates, we both want to win."That’s the kind of demands we are trying to put not just on ourselves but the rest of the team and we try to drag them through with us."On the predicament Accies currently find themselves, he added: "It’s us who have got ourselves into this position and it’s only going to be us who can get ourselves out of it.“We need to stick together.

We have to get that next win and, as much as we want it, we really do need it.“The performance against Thistle should give us encouragement that if we play that way, we can make it difficult for teams."Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
