Rice: Hamilton players encouraged by victory at Aberdeen

Hamilton head coach Brian Rice has seen a rise in confidence among his players following their surprise win at Aberdeen.But he warned them immediately after last Wednesdays 2-0 victory that their focus must shift to Saturdays Lanarkshire derby against Motherwell at Fir Park.Rice said: Any game that you win you take a lift from, but especially going to Aberdeen and coming back with a clean sheet, I see a lift in training, I see the confidence going up a little bit.But like I keep saying, that was gone on the Thursday morning. Right away it was gone, I was preparing for Motherwell.Its a special game for the fans, there is a lot more special feeling from the fans than the players.The players know its a game, 90 minutes, one that we have to really compete in, make sure the fans really see us competing and giving it everything we have got, and hopefully come out winners.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
