Hamilton Accies boss offers update on injured cup final trio and admits surprise at Dan O'Reilly red card appeal being thrown out

Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin admits he might have to play players out of position on Saturday against Dundee - with FIVE players ruled out for the Championship clash.

The New Douglas Park side lifted the SPFL Trust Trophy on Sunday to claim their first cup win for 30 years, but their historic victory came at a big cost to their hops of landing a vital three points in the league this weekend.

Injured trio Benny Ashley-Seal, Marley Redfern and Matty Shiels - who all came off in the first half in the win over Raith Rovers - have been ruled out, while Dan O'Reilly's red card in the game means he joins the already suspended Scott Martin on the sidelines.

Accies will need to show the same team spirit - something Rankin says he is calling 'The Hamilton way' - that saw them stun Rovers with 10-men, as they aim to climb off the foot of the table.
