Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin says captain Dylan McGowan will tell him when he's ready to return, but if he plays against Ayr on Saturday it will be testament to his own professionalism.
The Australian defender hasn’t trained since February 24, the day before a 4-1 defeat at home to Championship leaders Queen’s Park, and suffered a calf injury in that game, which saw him sit out the 0-0 draw against Arbroath at New Douglas Park on March 3.
Hamilton welcome fourth-placed Ayr to New Douglas Park on Saturday, hoping to steal a march on a Cove Rangers side one point and a place above them in eighth, and stretch their one-point lead over basement side Arbroath.
