Hamilton hero Andy Ryan praised the fans for playing a vital role in helping 10-man Accies start the season with a battling draw in their controversial clash with Morton.
The striker broke the deadlock at New Douglas Park when he turned Brian Easton's header into the net from close range.
But a lot went against Accies on the day during a poor performance from ropey ref Mike Roncone, who wrongly awarded Morton a penalty towards the end of the first half which led to the sending off of defender Shaun Want for the challenge and boss John Rankin for dissent.
