KEVIN O'HARA'S superb long-range strike lit up Hamilton's Championship play-off final first leg win over Inverness.

The Accies striker lobbed Mark Ridgers from nearly 50 yards in the sixth minute, with the ball striking the post and going in off the Caley keeper's head, before Ridgers was caught all at sea again when Fergus Owens headed home a second midway through the first half.
