Hamilton Accies fans vent fury after Queen's Park defeat as boss John Rankin says players haven't 'downed tools'

Hamilton boss John Rankin says he is big enough to withstand the verbal abuse from fans and focus on getting the club out of the relegation mire in their final three games.

And the New Douglas Park boss insisted his players haven't "downed tools" after suffering three defeats - including a 7-0 hammering at Dundee at the start of the month - in their last five outings.

Grant Savoury's second half strike inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Accies at Ochilview last night and angry fans aimed cries of "Rankin get to ****", while others displayed a banner aimed at board member Colin McGowan.

Their frustrations come with the club sitting in the relegation play-off spot in the Championship and the prospect of a second relegation in three seasons, having been in the Premiership in 2021.
