Jordan Kirkpatrick's 25-yard strike cannoned against the post two minutes later before Redmond doubled the Accies' lead with a great strike from distance which thundered into the back of the net six minutes from time.

Teenage substitute Andy Ryan secured Hamilton's victory in the second minute of stoppage time when he produced a stunning 30-yard effort.
