A late hat-trick from Oli Shaw helped Hamilton Academical power past Morton in the Scottish Championship table.

The much-travelled forward, who joined from Barnsley in the summer, took just seven minutes to turn what had been progressing to a 0-0 draw into a resounding defeat for Dougie Imrie’s side.

With less than 15 minutes left to play, Shaw latched onto a loose ball in the box, slotting home past Lewis Budinauckas, on an emergency loan from Rangers.

Three minutes later Shaw made it two, getting on the end of a Sean McGinty ball to turn home from close range.

And within another three minutes the 26-year-old had claimed his hat-trick, slotting past Budinauckas after a neat ball from Reagan Tumulty.
