Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin admits they blew a good opportunity to close the gap on rivals Arbroath after a poor second half showing at Morton cost them dear last night.
Rankin felt his side failed to capitalise on a positive first 45 minutes at Cappielow and looked on in horror as ex-Accie Grant Gillespie was allowed the easiest of finishes at the back post 10 minutes into the second half to fire Morton in front.
The hosts doubled their advantage in 66 minutes when Alex King struck to make sure of the points, which leaves Accies in the relegation play-off spot two points clear of bottom side Cove Rangers and three adrift of Arbroath in the safety of eighth spot.
