To send Jags into danger zone

explosion. In between it was a damp squib.

It burst into life with two goals inside 10 minutes. The visitors took the lead in the eighth minute when Georgis Sarris was penalised by referee Nick Walsh for fouling Danny Devine as a corner came over.

Conor Sammon took the kick and slotted it away, low to the keeper’s right-hand side. It was the former Kilmarnock hitman’s eighth goal in eight games.

The lead lasted only two minutes when Dougie Imrie’s inviting corner kick to the front post was brilliantly met by Rojano and his glancing header flew past Tomas Cerny and into the top corner of the net.

After that the game had its moments – most of them forgettable. Hamilton showed a strong desire to win and were willing to do so at all costs.

As the game looked to be heading for a draw, Ferguson found Rojano with a lovely piece of skill and his shot was superbly saved by Cerny. He clawed the ball out but only into the path of Templeton. He took a touch, skipped past a Jags’ defender and slammed the ball home from four yards.

And then, true to Accies style, they allowed Chris Erskine a free header with the last tough of the ball but he was denied by a wonderful save from Woods when he flew to his top right-hand corner to palm the ball to safety. Archibald said: “That’s us lost another late goal and we don’t seem to be learning. There are no excuses for that. We are now deep in the relegation but we’ve known that since probably the second week of the season.”
