Hamilton Academical 1-0 Greenock Morton: Home side end run without league win
- Published
Andy Winters' penalty was enough to win the game for Accies
Bottom side Hamilton Academical held off Greenock Morton to end a run of nine Scottish Championship games without a victory.
Andy Winters' first-half penalty, after Dan O'Reilly was fouled by Grant Gillespie in the area, was enough to separate the sides.
Midfielder Gillespie was sent off with less than 10 minutes remaining for a second bookable offence.
Dougie Imrie's 10 men pushed for an equaliser late on to no avail.
Accies, who found the net for the first time in five league games, move to within four points of ninth-placed Arbroath, who drew with Ayr United, following a second win in four days after their Challenge Cup win over Clyde.
Morton stay in fifth place and are without a win in five games.
