Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin hopes stars Dario Zanatta and Reegan Mimnaugh getting off the mark in their cup win over Rangers B can be the catalyst for his side to kick on in the league.
Accies ousted the young Gers from the SPFL Trust Trophy on Tuesday night with Zanatta bagging a double to claim his first goals for the club since his arrival in the summer, while Mimnaugh marked his first start on his return from injury with a penalty in the 3-0 win.
That booked a fourth round tie with Inverness next month, but Rankin hopes his stars breaking their duck – and a rare clean sheet for the squad – will instil confidence ahead of Friday night’s home clash with leaders Ayr United in the Championship.
