Gary Clark scored a double the last time Hamilton Accies won the Scottish Challenge Cup, and hopes the current squad can emulate that success.

Clark netted twice, with Chris Hillcoat adding a third, as Accies beat a star-studded Greenock Morton side 3-2 in front of a 7,391 crowd at St Mirren’s Love Street ground in Paisley in December 1992 to lift what was then the B&Q Cup, retaining the glass trophy they had won the previous year with a 1-0 win over Ayr United.

Their opponents that day included players like Derek McInnes, Alan Mahood and Rowan Alexander, who scored twice in the Paisley showdown.

Hamilton travel to Falkirk on Sunday to take on Championship rivals Raith Rovers, and Clark hopes to see them lift silverware.
