Match Preview

Neil banned for Accies Hamilton will be without influential captain Alex Neil as they host Raith looking for their first home win of the season. Neil begins a three-game suspension, strikers Kieran Miller and Jon McShane remain out with knee injuries and on-loan Kilmarnock midfielder Gary Fisher is struggling after picking up a hefty knock in the 2-1 defeat by Livingston last Saturday. Boss Billy Reid said: "We will miss Alex as he has been showing the form that made him a standout in the SPL but we will just need to get on with things. "Things went against us in various ways against Livingston but hopefully we will keep playing in a positive manner and look to get a win over a decent Raith Rovers side." Raith's only injury doubt is Grant Anderson. The former Accies winger picked up a dead leg in a midweek reserve game, with manager Grant Murray advising his chances of playing are improving every hour. Murray has a selection headache of the right kind as strikers Brian Graham, Greig Spence and Pat Clarke are all in goalscoring form. He said: "All three of them scored last week in the draw with Raith Rovers and are fit and available so we are in a great position in terms of having goalscorers to choose from. "I have to get the selection right as Hamilton are in a false position in the table and will start moving up soon but hopefully not at our expense."
