Match Preview
Craig banned for County Leaders Ross County entertain second-placed Hamilton at Victoria Park with everyone available to manager Derek Adams apart from banned striker Steven Craig. It is the third meeting of the season between the pair with Accies winning 5-1 in the league and County gaining revenge with a 2-1 Scottish Communities League Cup success and Adams is an admirer of his opponents. He said: "Hamilton are a really good side that have a very good blend of experience and youth in their ranks. We have done well to get above them in the table and will have to do really well to keep it that way. "Despite being top our feet are very much on the ground and things will be staying that way." Hamilton are sweating on the fitness of goalkeeper Tomas Cerny and defender Martin Canning. Both players are rated as only having a 50/50 chance of playing by manager Billy Reid, who has already ruled out Alex Neil, Lee Kilday and Kyle Wilkie through injury. Reid said: "Last week we travelled to a Morton side that were unbeaten at home and top of the league and won. This week we are travelling to a Ross County side that are top of the league and unbeaten and I want the same outcome. "It will be a stern test but we know exactly what to expect and how we need to play."

Match Report
Munro keeps County top Ross County remain top of the Irn-Bru Scottish First Division after Grant Munro's first goal of the season helped Derek Adams' men to a 1-0 win over Hamilton. Hamilton goalkeeper David Hutton prevented his side from going a goal down in the 25th minute when he got across his goal superbly to tip Iain Vigurs' 35-yard free-kick around the post. However the home side did take the lead six minutes later when Munro fired in a low left-footed effort from 12 yards. Hamilton pushed for an equaliser in the second half and their last chance fell to Greig Spence in the dying moments, but his left-footed strike was well saved by Ross County goalkeeper Michael Fraser.
