Hamilton boss John Rankin says there’s still all to play for in their Championship play-off against Airdrie, as they go into the home leg with a 1-0 deficit.

Callum Smith’s strike 11 minutes into the second half currently has Airdrie in the lead going into Saturday’s New Douglas Park showdown.

Hamilton will slip into League One if they can’t find their way through. Rankin says there wasn’t much in the tie at New Broomfield, but admits his side were on the back foot too much.

Connor Smith sent a shot whistling past the left post and had a free kick saved, sub Matty Shiels had a goal disallowed for offside and Dan O’Reilly had a header well saved in the second half.
