Hamilton Accies squad like "walking wounded" as star won't play again this season

Stuart Taylor reckons Scott Martin has played his final game for Accies this season as the Hamilton boss faces a number of injury doubts for Saturday's clash with Raith Rovers.

Martin and defender Jamie Hamilton were both subbed off during last week's 1-0 win over Morton at Cappielow, while skipper Brian Easton played through the pain barrier having had an injection before the game.

Striker Andy Ryan also appears to be a major doubt as Accies prepare to face promotion-chasing Rovers, who they have yet to beat this season in three attempts.

Asked how his squad was shaping up, Taylor said: "Jamie hasn't trained, Scotty hasn't trained. I don't see Scott Martin being back for the next two games.

"Jamie will hopefully take part in training today and Easty should try to do something today.

"So it really is the walking wounded at the moment.

"Chucky [Ryan] is struggling. He had two kicks to his calf in the first half [against Morton] and I don't see him training over the next couple of days.

"We will need to see on Friday how he is.

"Lads have been feeling things for a few weeks now and getting through it. All credit to them, they've done brilliantly.

"Now it's a case of do we keep pushing them or do we bring through other lads, change the formation to accommodate what's available?

"Those are the things we are thinking about after Saturday's game."

Accies have secured their Championship status but can no longer reach the promotion play-offs with just two games to go.

They trail fifth-place Raith by four points and a win over them, coupled with a win at Inverness on the final day next Friday could see secure a top five spot for Taylor's men.

And that will be the incentive for his side.

He added: "We've got everything to play
