John Rankin says he is delighted Accies defender Jamie Hamilton will be back on the pitch instead of sitting at home watching Soccer Saturday every weekend.
The New Douglas Park head coach managed to convince the 20-year-old to put pen to paper on a new deal earlier this week, following protracted talks which started towards the end of last season when Stuart Taylor was still at the helm.
However, Hamilton has missed their entire pre-season campaign and it will still be a number of weeks before he is fit enough to pull on an Accies jersey again.
