  1. Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Accies keeper Luke Southwood is taking no chances as he pushes away a wind-assisted cross from Niall McGinn that was dipping towards the top corner of his net.

  2. Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Referee Greg Aitken gets more stick from the stands as a Hamilton defender clearly nods the ball out from a corner and the befuddled official signals a goal-kick.

    At least he's being even-handed with his blunders.

  3. CLOSE!

    Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Much better from Hamilton now as David Moyo curls in a cross from the left and Marios Ogmkpoe glances a header just wide.

    A corner is given, which is frankly ridiculous. Referee Greg Aitken and his assistants have made a few odd calls this evening.

  4. YELLOW CARD

    Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    More outrage from the home supporters as Andrew Considine sends Aaron McGowan flying into the air with a late lunge. A booking follows for the Aberdeen defender and Hamilton can't conjure anything up from the free kick.

  5. PENALTY APPEAL

    Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    The home fans want a penalty as Scott McKenna cuts off a cross. It looked like the giant defender got his strapping chest on the ball, with his arms down by his side.

  6. KICK-OFF

    Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Here we go again. Can the home side grab a goal and make this a contest?

  7. Double change for struggling Accies

    HT: Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Accies are not hanging about. With one sub already used, Will Collar and David Moyo will be on when we resume.

    David Templeton and Sam Woods are the men being withdrawn as the hosts chase an unlikely comeback.

  8. 'Main taking his big chance'

    HT: Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on BBC Radio Scotland

    Curtis Main is holding it up, he's scored a goal, he had a hand in the McGinn goal. You couldn't really ask for more. He'll think this is his big chance and he's taking it.

  9. Aberdeen well on top

    HT: Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    It's quite incredible, from nowhere Aberdeen look like every time they go up the park they are going to cause Hamilton problems.

  10. HALF-TIME Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Crisis? What crisis? Aberdeen are banging in the goals and heading for third spot in the Premiership.

    Loud boos from the angry home fans as the half-time whistle sounds.

    Curtis Main got the ball rolling with a nice lobbed finish, Niall McGinn drilled one in and Connor McLennan has just added a fine, controlled header.

    The visitors are brimming with confidence after a five-game streak without a goal.

    GOAL Hamilton Academical 0-3 Aberdeen

    Connor McLennan

    A second assist of the evening for Andrew Considine, who takes a throw-in and is then given the freedom of South Lanarkshire to receive the ball back and plant a good cross on to the head of Connor McLennan, who nips in ahead of his man and glances it home.

    Game over, surely?

  12. Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    Six minutes of stoppage time added after that injury to Brian Easton.

  13. Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    Still nothing really happening for Accies. Marios Ogkmpoe started the game well, winning a few headers, but the big striker has been starved of service.

  14. Willie with the weather

    Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    Both teams have managed to play some decent football despite the dreadful weather conditions, and it looks like it might get worse as well...

  15. Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    Maybe Brian Rice is using his walkie-talkie thing to listen to Sportsound on BBC Radio Scotland, since the home side have now switched to a back three, with Alex Gogic dropping back from his initial midfield beat.

  16. 'Back four not working' for Hamilton

    Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    The back four aren't working as a unit at all. I don't think Hamilton at home should be as exposed as they have been. There are big spaces there waiting to be exploited.

  18. Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    The wind is picking up but Aberdeen are doing a good job of keeping the ball, confidently zipping passes around on the slick artificial surface.

    Accies, who desperately need the next goal, just haven't got going at all.

  19. Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    After a long period of treatment, Brian Easton is finally on his feet as he makes his way off the pitch without the aid of that stretcher.

    Shaun Want is the replacement defender for the home side.

  20. Striker swap works a treat

    Hamilton Academical 0-2 Aberdeen

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    The manager had a big call to make, dropped his top goalscorer and brought someone in who a lot of fans didn't believe had it in him and it's worked a treat. I'm sure that will be recognised. Managers are paid to make big calls, that was a big call and so far it's worked.
