Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin denied it was a wasted opportunity as they were held to a 0-0 draw against 10-man Arbroath, but said it was frustrating and disappointing.
Ricky Little was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jean-Pierre Tiehi 19 minute into the game, and though Connor Smith and Reghan Tumilty both forced good saves from Derek Gaston, Accies couldn't find a way through, when a win would have put them above eighth-paced Cove Rangers.
Rankin says it leaves his side on an 'upward journey' and the dressing room was silent, because the players weren't happy with their own performances.
