Hamilton vs Ayr preview - Hamilton suspended for Accies

Hamilton will have goalkeeper David Hutton available to face Ayr after a one-game ban.

Skipper Alex Neil is unavailable after being sent off in last weekend's 4-3 win over Morton.

The fourth-placed Accies look set to again be without Ali Crawford who has a knee problem.

New Douglas Park boss Billy Reid said: "It is disappointing that we will be without Alex as he is our most experienced player. We want to win this game as we want to finish as high in the table as we can but I recognise that Ayr will be fighting for every ball.

"They bounced back after a disappointing run by beating Livingston away from home last week and will be looking to build on that."

Ayr have on-loan Blackpool midfielder Adam Dodd available after a tw- game suspension as they look to boost their fight against relegation.

Defender Martyn Campbell is ruled out with a knee problem and John Robertson is a major doubt with manager Brian Reid advising: "I have a couple of other players carrying knocks but I want to keep their identity under wraps for just now."

Reid added: "We did really well to win at Livingston last week and that was crucial win especially with Queen of the South and Raith Rovers both dropping points.

"We won at Hamilton earlier in the season and it would be good to do so again."
