Hamilton without midfielder Darian MacKinnon for Rangers clash
MacKinnon was red carded for a last man foul after he was deemed to have pulled down Saints midfielder Paul Paton as he raced through on goal, denying the former Dundee United man a goalscoring opportunity.
Hamilton left McDiarmid Park empty-handed after Murray Davidson’s late header won the match for Tommy Wright’s side.

MacKinnon’s suspension leaves Accies boss Martin Canning without three midfielders, with Grant Gillespie and David Templeton both out injured.
Canning could also be without first choice ‘keeper Gary Woods, who was forced off with an injury early in the second half in Perth.
