There is always a little disappointment in being drawn against a team in your own league at this stage in the competition but it does mean that Jim Jefferies will know his opponents well.  When the Pars match at Central Park was frozen off two weeks ago he took in Hamilton`s game against the Rovers at Starks Park  He views them as a team of young boys who are improving. He commented:-

"They have taken a few games to find their feet which was understandable because I thought that we would do that. They have some good players.

Stevie May scores for Hamilton

"Stevie May worked hard up front on his own supported by two boys wide. He put himself about and has good skill.  If you sit off him and give him room he will cause you problems because he likes to get the ball and run at you. When I was at Hearts and he was at St Johnstone he came on one day and changed the game for them.  He was a slip of a lad then but he has filled out a bit since without losing any of his sharpness. He played well against us last time but they have one or two good players that we will have to keep an eye on. They are a good team.".

In the First Division Dunfermline have met Hamilton twice this season. The first game in Lanarkshire on the last Saturday in September was a resounding 3-0 victory for the Pars with all three goals coming in the second half from Ryan Wallace twice and a late goal from substitute Ryan Thomson.  The most recent meeting was on 15th December at East End Park when it ended all square at 1-1 with Andy Barrowman equalising after Stevie May had put Accies into a 17th minute lead.

The Lanarkshire club are four places behind Dunfermline who still sit third after a disappointing run of results.  At the start of the season it took eight league games for Billy Reid`s team to record a win but since then they have steadily caught up. Now thirteen points separate the clubs but Hamilton`s defeat at Dumbarton on Saturday was their first in seven games.
