Hamilton v Queen of the South: How to watch Championship clash and who is the ref

Hamilton Accies will hope to move closer to fifth-placed Raith Rovers in the Championship when Queen of the South visit New Douglas Park on Saturday.

A win over their visitors would also move Stuart Taylor's side 12 points clear of Queens in last place, giving them some extra breathing space.

Accies have notched up three straight wins over the Dumfries side this season, with a 2-1 win at Palmerston Park on August 28 presenting Taylor with his first win as boss.

That was followed by a 1-0 home win in October, and a stylish 3-0 triumph over 10-man Queen of the South at Palmerston Park on January 2.

Queen of the South go into the clash in last place in the league, and on the back of three straight defeats in their last three league games, but won three in a row before that.

Hamilton have taken two wins - including the 4-0 triumph at Partick Thistle on Saturday - three draws and a defeat in their last six, so have hit a decent level of form.

With capacity crowds allowed back into stadiums, tickets are still available for the New Douglas Park showdown, but if you can't make it to the game, a live stream is available here for £10.

Man in the middle

Graham Grainger is referee for the clash in South Lanarkshire, and will be assisted by Daniel McFarlane and Gordon McCabe.

Grainger has officiated 21 games this season, issuing 59 yellow and five red cards.

He is yet to officiate a game involving Hamilton Accies, but was in charge of Queen of the South's 0-0 Premier Sports Cup group stages draw at home to Airdrie on July 17.
