Ali urges Accies to win it for Mikey

-

ALI CRAWFORD says Hamilton aim to dedicate a Premiershi­p play-off final win to Mikey Devlin who picked up a serious knee ligament injury last weekend. Accies travel to face Dundee United in the first leg tonight and midfielder Crawford said: “It’s terrible news about Mikey. “It’s a huge blow for him and the club. He’s captain and is clearly going to be a big miss so we have to make sure we do it for him.

“It’s vital when he comes back that we’re still in the top flight, nobody here wants to be in the Championsh­ip.

“We have been there and done it before so we know what it takes to win a play-off final.”

●Ali Crawford was speaking ahead of the Premiershi­p play-off final first leg which is live on BT Sport 1.
