John Rankin says he has specific targets he hopes to secure early in the January transfer window that will strengthen his struggling Hamilton Accies squad.
The New Douglas Park gaffer took the reins at the end of June following Stuart Taylor's protracted exit during the summer, but he has led them to just two wins in 17 league matches.
Rankin's last transfer window didn't go according to plan with a short time between his appointment and the window closing on September 1.
