Accies return to action after a 2 week break with a visit to Dens Park to play 3rd placed Dundee. Dundee have signed former Scotland striker Craig Beattie since last week's penalties defeat by Stenhousemuir in the Challenge Cup, but whether he will be fit to play on Saturday is anyone's guess. Accies are on a fine run of form and I look forward that continuing, with the starting XI likely to reflect our success at Falkirk a couple of weeks ago. While that game was not without its difficulties for Accies, it is clear that when we play well we have little to fear from any other team in this league. Consistency will be the key to a good run in the Championship this year. We have reinforced encouragingly in the last few weeks with Garcia Tena finally signing in the last week. I don't expect him to feature as anything other than a sub on Saturday, but he certainly seems to have made an sound debut as Accies' u20s defeated Dundee Utd on Tuesday.
This game will be provide another indication of the likely strength of our fledgling promotion challenge. Would I take a draw if it was offered now? I'm not sure, really, given the last few weeks…
