Scottish Grand National forces Hamilton Accies fixture change

Hamilton Accies will take on Ayr United at Somerset Park a day earlier than planned, because the fixture clashes with the Scottish Grand National.

Stuart Taylor's men will now travel to Ayr on Friday, April 1, for a 7.45pm kick-off, instead of Saturday, April 2, at 3pm.

The four-mile Coral Scottish Grand National features up to 30 handicap chasers negotiating 27 fences in the fourth-biggest race in the UK, with seven more races featuring on the same day.

Hamilton drew 1-1 with Ayr the last time they were at Somerset Park, and the game ended the same at New Douglas Park in January.
