John Ranklin did his homework on the Diamonds and it paid off with early goals that set the tone against the Diamonds
John Rankin hailed his “breathtaking” Hamilton Accies after their fast start blew derby rivals Airdrie away.
And he said: “I studied Airdrie hard and their league position sort of worried me because I think they are in a false position. They dominate the ball, they’ve got lots of good players in forward areas and we had to make sure we didn’t underestimate them."We knew they start games fast and the challenge for the players was could we make that fast start?
A Gordon Banks-esque save from Accies keeper Charlie Albinson on the stroke of half-time to deny Lewis McGregor also proved crucial.
