Hamilton Academical: Scottish side’s relegation from Championship confirmed as appeal dismissed

“The board is prevented from making any further comment on the matter by SPFL regulations but will communicate further with supporters in early course.”

An independent disciplinary tribunal found Hamilton guilty of four offences, including the non-payment of players and not acting in “good faith” when dealing with the governing body about the removal of a previous transfer ban.

The other charges relate to:

  • Giving incorrect information to the league about stadium ownership

  • A late submission of their membership criteria for the season

  • Failing to meet the required standard of Scottish FA licence to participate in the league.

  • There was also a fine of £9,000, of which £2,500 is suspended pending any further indiscretions.

The appeal decision comes hours after Accies revealed they are planning to leave New Douglas Park amid a row over stadium ownership and rental and move into Clyde’s former home at Broadwood Stadium, Cumbernauld.

League 2 club Clyde, however, say they have reached agreement to extend their rental of the stadium in Hamilton.
