Hamilton head coach Brian Rice has seen a rise in confidence among his players following their surprise win at Aberdeen.

But he warned them immediately after last Wednesday’s 2-0 victory that their focus must shift to Saturday’s Lanarkshire derby against Motherwell at Fir Park.

Rice said: “Any game that you win you take a lift from, but especially going to Aberdeen and coming back with a clean sheet, I see a lift in training, I see the confidence going up a little bit.

“But like I keep saying, that was gone on the Thursday morning. Right away it was gone, I was preparing for Motherwell.

“It’s a special game for the fans, there is a lot more special feeling from the fans than the players.

“The players know it’s a game, 90 minutes, one that we have to really compete in, make sure the fans really see us competing and giving it everything we have got, and hopefully come out winners.”

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.
