MATCH 1589 - Saturday, 24 January 2015

SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue:  NEW DOUGLAS PARK (2)



HAMILTON    0    INVERNESS CT    2
Scorers:  O.G.,  Ross

The 10p game

The stunt by Hamilton to have a ridiculously low admission price certainly worked as the crowd was more than double the normal size for this particular fixture.
At half time though I wondered if the game was worth the admission price.  Despite a lively opening period from the home side no side came close to breaking the deadlock.
In the second however Inverness stepped up a level scored two and also brought out the best in the Accies keeper, McGovern.
Their second goal was worthy of the normal admission price. Great piece of football.


Personal note:
23rd time seeing both these teams
962nd SPL game overall of which only 6 have not involved Celtic
