Arbroath vs Hamilton Academical – Match Preview
cinch Scottish Championship – Game 36 – Season 2022/2023
Friday 5th May 2023, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 7.45pm kick off
It is Game Day 36, a number synonymous with Arbroath FC and the match couldn’t be any bigger.
Arbroath know that their Championship future is in their own hands and a positive result would see them secure their future in the Championship for a 5th consecutive season.
Hamilton Accies need to win and so it will no doubt be a game with both sides attacking hoping to secure all 3 points. Accies will be rested having last played on Saturday 22nd April in a 2-2 draw with Partick Thistle and should be at full strength for their visit to Gayfield.
Arbroath will be without Colin Hamilton, but it is hoped both David Gold and Ryan Dow who missed out last week will return to the squad.
With Arbroath supporters on all 3 terraces we hope you can be vocal from the start and get right behind the team for the entire 90 minutes.
C’mon the Lichties!
