Rankin's thankin' Oli and Charlie for soothing Accies

HAMILTON ACCIES managed to put fan unrest to one side as they opened their account with a 2-0 win at home to Montrose.

- 

Against a backdrop of protests and a season-long transfer embargo, Oli Shaw put Accies in front in first-half stoppage time.

Charlie Telfer - playing as a trialist - doubled their lead just after the hour.

Accies boss John Rankin said: "If you had said to me before the game we would win 2-0, your striker would get on the scoresheet and you'd keep a clean sheet, I would have taken it."
