Hamilton Academical striker Richard Offiong is hopeful that his side can build on their 1-0 win over Kilmarnock and push away from the foot of the SPL table.

Offiong's third goal in three games was enough to see off Killie and lift the Accies off the foot of the standings, at the expense of St Mirren.

"We've definitely turned a corner," Offiong claimed. "We're new to the league but we've learned a lot and now we can kick on.

"You get punished for mistakes in this league and we needed to eradicate those, but we seem to be getting rid of those silly mistakes that were costing us earlier on this season.

"Apart from that, we've been playing football in the right way and we were never far away even when we weren't picking up results.

"We still weren't adrift at the bottom, but we're pleased to get off the bottom of the league."
