Morton v Hamiltion Accies: Striker Tiehi doesn't fear for season after sticky start

Hamilton striker John-Pierre Tiehi insists he doesn't fear for the club this season because he has full belief the team will come good.

"Obviously the target is to go back up but we know that is going to be tough."

"But I'm looking at it in a different way, in that the teams
