James Tavernier's free-kick whistles over the bar. Was from a central position right on the edge of the box. The Rangers captain just doesn't get enough dip on the ball.

Quote MessageRangers threatened to get a grip on this game but it's just faded and they haven't created any chances of note. Credit to Brian Rice, the gameplan has been spot on so far.

Hamilton's Lee Hodson blazes a shot over the bar from the edge of the box. Really good intent shown by Accies this afternoon.
By no means just sitting deep.

Quote MessageI don't know what Goldon's thinking about, he's hammered it at Helander. Goldson is the one at fault, it's madness to play a square ball like that across your own box.
Hamilton 0-0 Rangers
What a chance for Bruce Anderson! Connor Goldson makes a rare error and smashes a pass at Filip Helander, who struggles to control the ball.
Anderson is on it in a flash, but Allan McGregor races out to save his shot on the angle. As close as Accies have come.
Hamilton 0-0 Rangers
Joe Aribo drops the shoulder, glides away from a red-and-white shirt, and curls a delightful shot towards the far corner. Inches wide.

Quote MessageHamilton don't look like a side who are devoid of confidence, they don't look as though they're playing with any fear. They are leaving gaps that Rangers might exploit but they believe in themselves to match up to them and so far they are.
Hamilton 0-0 Rangers
It's been a familiar Rangers performance so far to what we've seen in recent weeks.
Not playing with the full-throttle tempo we've become accustomed to, but not really looking like being under serious pressure either.

Quote MessageAccies are having to go at full pelt here just to keep up with Rangers, they've barely touched the ball since the opening few minutes

It's blustery at New Douglas Park. You can see a few wrappers swirling about the place.
If you've ever been, you'll know it's an exposed stadium. Bitterly cold.
Anyway, Rangers starting to knock the ball about.

Ianis Hagi picks up a nice pocket of space, and drives an effort from 25 yards which flashes wide.
Obviously feeling confident after his goal during the week!
Hamilton 0-0 Rangers
Bruce Anderson combines well with Marius Ogkmpoe and fires a shot goalward, but it's deflected behind for a corner by Connor Goldson.
Rangers get a free-kick from the resulting corner for a foul on Allan McGregor.
Brian Rice won't be too displeased with their start here.

Quote MessageIt's a real feature of Hagi's play is how hard he works off the ball. We know he has quality on the ball but his work rate is exceptional. He's become a real asset in this Rangers side.

Quote MessageI love the way Rangers play in the wide areas. They just get it in the box, no time wasted building the play. It asks a lot of questions of the oppositions centre backs
Hamilton 0-0 Rangers
Ryan Kent gets the first shot on target of this game. He surges down the left and into the box, but his shot on the angle is comfortably saved by Ryan Fulton.
Hamilton 0-0 Rangers
Decent start from Hamilton. They've seen a lot more of the ball than you might expect.
They'll have to go some to score against this Rangers defence, though.
They concede one goal every four games.

We're up and running at New Douglas Park!
Hamilton v Rangers (12:00)
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland Accies manager Brian Rice:
"It's fantastic to look back on the win against Rangers last year but that's what it is, a distant memory. It's all about today it's going to be difficult. Stick to the game plan, run further, jump higher but most importantly go and enjoy. It's huge for us the position we're in, strange things can happen in football.
"We can't affect what happens elsewhere, I believe in these lads. It's taken us time but I believe in these young players. We expect a tough game like we always get"
