Match Summary: Hamilton 0 - 1 Aberdeen

I've always wished the best for the Accies, but sadly at this point the Dons absolutely needed those three points.

That said, all credit to new boss Craig Brown for having taken 6 from 6 to start his term. Scott Vernon was again at the center of things, finishing from close range in injury time for the only tally of the match. On the whole it was not a terribly inspired performance for the Dons, the visitors were well-organized and strong in the midfield for the majority of the afternoon. While Vernon's goal was left a bit late, it was not an ugly thing, with credit to both Jack and Aluko for setting the table.

I hate that I have to celebrate moving 6 points clear of relegation, but pride doesn't save a man from the drop zone. Hamilton have two matches in hand, which from an objective point of view sets up an interesting four-team relegation battle:
