Hamilton Accies goalkeeper out for rest of the season through injury

10.05.2023 - 08:29 dailyrecord.co.uk

Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin has revealed goalkeeper Ryan Fulton is out for the rest of the season with a troublesome thigh injury.

The New Douglas Park number one did not feature in last night's Championship play-off semi-final first leg defeat away to Alloa, where the Wasps ran out 1-0 winners, and he will play no further part in their campaign even if they managed to turnaround the 1-0 deficit to reach the final.

Before kick-off last night, Accies announced the emergency loan signing of Hearts youngster Liam McFarlane on a seven-day deal.

The 18-year-old took his place on the bench as Jamie Smith played between the sticks for Accies. The club received special permission from the SPFL for the signing and would need to renew or find another back-up shotstopper should they reach next week's final.

Premier League: 10 things to look out for on the final day of the season

For the third time in 29 years, Everton’s Premier League status is on the line on the final day at Goodison Park although, unlike against Wimbledon in 1994 or Coventry in 1998, survival is in their own hands. The task sounds straightforward enough: beat a Bournemouth team with nothing to play for and a 70th consecutive season in the top flight is guaranteed. Everton, though, have an aversion to the straightforward. Sean Dyche does not have a decent striker available with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has been integral to the team’s recent improvement, hamstrung again. Unless Vitaliy Mykolenko recovers from a thigh injury, he will not have a recognised full-back (left or right) available either. Everton have not won at home since 11 March and were soundly beaten twice in five days by Gary O’Neil’s team just before the World Cup break, 4-1 in the Carabao Cup and 3-0 in the Premier League. A defining afternoon, laden with consequence on and off the pitch, awaits. Andy Hunter
