Hamilton Accies hero Adrian Sprott has passed away following a period of ill health, the club has announced.
The 61-year-old wrote his name into the history books on January 31, 1987 when he scored the goal that knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup. Accies - who were bottom of the top flight at the time and with a squad of players earning around £50 a week - recorded a 1-0 win at Ibrox.
A civilian worker with Lothian and Borders police, Sprott was on target against a line up that included then-England captain Terry Butcher, Chris Woods, Davie Cooper, Ally McCoist and Ian Durrant.
