Hamilton Accies players must leave before we can bring others in, confirms boss

John Rankin says he can’t make any more signings at Hamilton Accies until players leave. And he suggested that some might head out on loan deals while he looks at a squad that has seven injured stars and a few new signings who are yet to come into the frame.

Rankin moved to sign 19-year-old midfielder Lucas de Bolle on a season-long loan from Newcastle United ahead of the transfer window deadline, adding to Jean-Pierre Tiehi, Dario Zanatta, Jonny Ngandu and Michael Doyle, with Regan Thomson needing to build up his fitness, as does defender Jamie Hamilton, who has effectively re-signed.

De Bolle is still in Newcastle after suffering a concussion, but Rankin says he is ready to go straight into the squad when he recovers.

Shaun Want left the club after 15 years at the club to join Northern Irish side Larne, and Rankin hinted that others may find their way out of the door.
