Hamilton Accies legend Alex Neil experienced plenty of highs during his time at New Douglas Park, from lifting the old First Division title to winning the Premiership play-off final that memorable day at Easter Road in 2014.
The Challenge Cup, or SPFL Trust Trophy as it is now known, was a thorn in his side, however, as he ended up on the losing team twice under boss Billy Reid in 2005 and 2012.
This weekend, Neil’s old club are aiming to put those demons to rest by lifting the trophy for the first time since their 1992 triumph over Morton at Love Street, where a Chris Hillcoat effort and Gary Clark double delivered a 3-2 win.
