Hamilton have injury problems ahead of Ross County clash

Hamilton head coach Brian Rice is struggling to get any of his injured players back for the Ladbrokes Premiership clash with Ross County.

Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
