Sarris out of Accies for good, says Mart
BOSS Martin Canning has confirmed that Georgios Sarris has played his last game for Hamilton.
One newspaper report claimed that the Accies board were unhappy with the Greek defender’s conduct immediately after Saturday’s 1-0 Ladbrokes Premiership defeat to Partick Thistle at Firhill.
Sarris had reacted angrily to a coming together with Thistle striker Miles Storey and he was booked at the final whistle by referee Bobby Madden.
Canning, speaking ahead of the trip to Motherwell tomorrow, said: “I am not going to comment too much on it.
“Obviously the club will deal with Georgios and his representatives and will sort it out but as far as things going forward, he won’t play for us again, no.
“It is something that has happened, the club have taken a stance.
“It won’t affect the players, everyone is committed and know what their jobs are on Saturday.
“It is part of the game. There is a turnaround in players constantly and with the window coming, we will be looking to bring someone in, that’s the way football works.”
Canning is hoping to go into the winter break on a high which was denied by their Lanarkshire rivals in the corresponding fixture at the SuperSeal stadium 12 months ago when Louis Moult’s last-gasp leveller gave the Steelmen a point.
The former Hamilton defender said: “It is a massive game for us.
“We want to go into the break on a positive. Last year we were about 20 seconds off beating them.
“We were 1-0 up until the 96th minute and Moult scored an equaliser that puts a real dampener on your break so we know the importance, in every way, to enjoy this break and come back in the right mood.
“You want to go and put everything into this game and try to take three points.”
