Hamilton move further clear of danger with win over Queen of the South

Hamilton edged further clear of relegation danger with a 1-0 home win over Queen of the South in the cinch Championship.

The Doonhamers were dealt a blow five minutes before half-time when Ben Liddle was dismissed for a second bookable offence.

And Hamilton capitalised on the man advantage in the 64th minute, with Andy Winter netting from a Daniel O’Reilly delivery.

Winter’s winner earned Hamilton back-to-back league victories for the first time since March 2020, as they followed up their 4-0 win at Partick Thistle last time out.

The result moves Hamilton nine points clear of the bottom two, while Queens remain rooted to the foot of the table.
