Match Preview
Cerny back between the sticks Hamilton welcome goalkeeper Tomas Cerny back into their ranks after three months out with a shoulder injury when they face Partick at New Douglas Park. The Accies will also add recently acquired on-loan St Mirren striker Jon McShane to their squad, with skipper Alex Neil and winger Grant Anderson both fit enough to be considered for starting places. However, centre-back Mark McLaughlin is suspended. Manager Billy Reid said: "We have put in a number of solid performances recently and I am looking for us to keep doing that but to ensure we get a win at home. "Having Tomas back is a huge boost as he is one of the best goalkeepers in Scotland." Partick are hoping to give a debut to on-loan Rangers defender Darren Cole after an ankle injury kept him out of last weekend's Scottish Cup defeat to Queen of the South. Fellow Ibrox youngster Kal Naismith could also feature after joining on a temporary basis, while Firhill manager Jackie McNamara is waiting on news on the fitness of experienced midfielder David Rowson - who has been struggling with a back injury - before naming his starting line-up. McNamara said: "The last Friday night game was a great one for us, as we beat Morton 5-0 in front of a big crowd. If we are to repeat that then our final ball has to be a lot better than it was in our last game."

Match Report
Spence seals Hamilton win Greig Spence's late goal saw Hamilton down Partick 1-0 in the First Division. Paul Cairney picked his spot from distance but Accies defender Martin Canning got across to cover. Dougie Imrie's response was to drill a free-kick against the visiting wall after Darren Cole had conceded a foul in dangerous territory. And Hamilton's James McAlister went closest to breaking the deadlock as a drab first half drew to a close, scooping his left-footed drive wide of Scott Fox's goal. It was Imrie with his head in his hands after the restart as he bustled into space only to skew the ball over the crossbar. Jags striker Kris Doolan then fired wide of the target when set free down the right channel. But in the 87th minute Spence bagged all three points for the hosts, stealing in to the six-yard box to turn home Grant Anderson's cross. To add insult to injury, a frustrated Alan Archibald saw red for a violent challenge on Imrie just before the final whistle.
