Hamilton Accies boss is working hard to create ruthless streak in his side

Stuart Taylor says Hamilton Accies will get it right on the pitch if they stick to their beliefs - but is working hard on fostering a ruthless streak in them.

Taylor says his side are creating plenty of chances but admits they're not taking enough of them, which was exemplified as Ayr United fought back to draw 1-1 in a game that could easily have been beyond them at the interval.

Hamilton passed up several chances, and Ronan Hughes sent a penalty off the top of the crossbar as the hosts struggled to make their dominance count.

Looking ahead to Saturday's Championship clash at Raith Rovers, Taylor said: "I think it will be a good game of football, it's two teams that try to play football, two teams that try and be creative, get the ball down and play from the back.

"I just hope we come out with the win.

"In the game the last time we played against them [a 3-0 home defeat on November 13] we had good opportunities, but they were more ruthless than us.

"Their manager, John McGlynn, has been up there for three or four years, he's certainly given Raith Rovers a new way of playing, and there's a lot of that coming to fruition, so it does take time.

"I think when we played them earlier on in the season we knew it was going to be a difficult game, and we had to change a little bit of how we go about our work, because of how they go and play.

"Although it's really important that we deal with their strengths, it's important that we stick to our strengths and try and highlight any weakness that they might have.

"It's about sticking to our beliefs, what we're doing, but we need to be more ruthless, we know that and we're working on that.

"But I would say that Raith have been playing like that for a few years now, they're comfortable
