Hamilton Accies boss demands more from Oli Shaw despite derby day heroics in win over Airdrie

Oli Shaw delivered a stoppage time winner on derby day to sink Airdrie in a five-goal thriller - but Hamilton boss John Rankin is still demanding MORE from his striker.

The Accies hitman hit a double to down the Diamonds and take his season's goal tally to 14 goals before the turn of the year, making him the Championship's top scorer with 10 goals.

Shaw opened the scoring after 14 minutes with a predatory strike inside the box and Stuart McKinstry grabbed his first goal for the club in a pulsating first-half, which saw Airdrie twice peg back their rivals with goals from Chris Mochrie and Gavin Gallagher.

Shaw popped up to hook home from Reghan Tumilty's cut back late on to take Accies up to seventh in the Championship.

Yet his gaffer feels the 26-year-old former Kilmarnock and Motherwell man is capable of being even better.

Rankin said: "I am delighted for Oli and the boys. I knew it was going to be a tough day, it's a derby between Christmas and New Year, and we've got the three points.

"But I think Oli can score more and I think he can do more.

"He has scored 14 goals - and I am not complaining about that by any means - but when I look at today, he has a chance before he scores where he is through on goal and he could drive in, but he doesn't.

"When Oli is in confidence and flying, he is the only guy who can compose himself and find the net in those [one-on-one] situations.

"I'm delighted we have him at the football club and I think we will see more of him in the second part of the season because he has hit those consistency levels.

"He is playing game after game, which he hasn't done for a number of years.

"If we can demand more from him, whether it be hold up play, getting in behind and him demanding off others,
