Hamilton Academical manager Billy Reid could not understand why goalkeeper Tomas Cerny was sent off in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Inverness Caley Thistle.

The point edges the Accies closer to Scottish Premier League safety but Reid was disappointed with his side's display.

He said: "We're obviously happy with the point but disappointed with the way we played. But it's a point nearer to safety.

"The sending-off was really, really harsh. I know he's lifted his foot up, but I think he's won the ball and the man hasn't been seriously hurt.

"I think all the Inverness players and management team thought it was harsh.

"He's gutted. James is a committed player, he's not a dirty player. When I played years ago, that would never have been a sending-off."
