Partick Thistle 0-4 Hamilton Academical: Visitors rout promotion chasers

Andy Ryan scored Hamilton's first and third goals

Hamilton Academical dented Partick Thistle's Scottish Championship promotion hopes with an emphatic win at Firhill.

Andy Ryan scored from close range and David Moyo doubled Accies' lead in first-half added time.

The rout continued in the second period with Ryan getting his second.

And Andy Winter got the fourth strike of the match midway through the half as Thistle slipped a place to fourth.

Ian McCall's side can reclaim third if they win their game in hand against Dunfermline Athletic on Tuesday. Hamilton are seventh, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
