Recent respective form guides

Hamilton Academical's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Accies have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Celtic's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the The Bhoys, and 5 goals against.

Hamilton Ac. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 10 points. Celtic are leading the way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, with their 13 games giving them a return of 34 points.
