Danny Redmond could feature for Hamilton

Hamilton midfielder Danny Redmond is back in contention following a knee injury as they prepare to host Ross County.

Former Partick Thistle defender Dan Seaborne and former Hartlepool striker Rakish Bingham could make their debuts after signing during the week.

Bingham said: "I had a chance to come here a few years ago and chose Falkirk at the time for personal reasons, but I have always held Hamilton in high regards and I'm happy to be here now.

"Alex Neil was the manager at the time but I remember playing against the gaffer (Martin Canning), and to come back now and still be wanted is always a plus.

"It's the perfect club for me to steady myself, find my feet and show people what I am made of."

Defenders Canning (cheekbone), Jesus Garcia Tena (knee), Craig Watson (knee) and Jordan McGregor (ankle) are still out while Antons Kurakins left the club this week.

Ross County could hand former Wigan midfielder Tim Chow his introduction to the Ladbrokes Premiership.

But the Staggies will head south to the SuperSeal Stadium without striker Brian Graham after he was allowed to join Hibernian.

Otherwise, boss Jim McIntyre has a fully-fit squad to choose from.

County won all three games against Accies last season and Michael Gardyne admits he cannot wait to face them again when they head south this weekend.

He said: "Saturday is a massive game for us. If we can win it would mean we'd have nine points out of 12, which would be a great start to the season after losing the first game to Dundee.

"We had a good record against Accies last season. We played well down there and at home and managed to win all three games.

"So we're looking forward to it. The astroturf doesn't bother us. We have it here at the club to train on and I'm sure we will be well prepared for Saturday."
