Newcastle United loanees Lucas De Bolle and Dylan Stephenson clinched silverware as Hamilton beat Raith Rovers in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Where the Magpies failed last month, the Toon duo delivered, with Reghan Tumilty’s first-half goal enough to separate the two sides.
However, the Accies would have to dig in after Daniel O’Reilly was dismissed on 55 minutes. An onslaught saw Rovers have 17 shots to Hamilton’s three without managing to get the ball over the line.
Goalkeeper Ryan Fulton was called upon on several occasions to keep the waves of attacks at bay. De Bolle, who arrived at Hamilton last summer on a season-long loan, played the entire game in the number 10 role.
