Hamilton Academical enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Partick Thistle's place. The match ended 1-0 with Stephenson scoring. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Rankin when Stephenson scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

A 0-0 scoreline against Ross County before that, played at their own home stadium in the Scottish Cup.

It should be added that a look at the 16 latest league matches shows that 12 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).
