Arbroath delivered for their backers last week and the Lichties can continue their revival by winning at Championship backmarkers Alloa.

Dick Campbell's men made the best of atrocious conditions at Gayfield to see off Dunfermline 2-0 last Saturday, extending their unbeaten run to five.

Arbroath have conceded just one goal from open play in their last four matches and boast a better defensive record than second-placed Raith.

Alloa snapped a six-game winless streak with a hard-earned 2-1 win success over second-bottom Queen of the South – the Wasps hadn't won a game since before Christmas – but they have not kept a clean sheet in the league at home, where they concede at an average of 2.5 goals per game.

Hamilton have done the double over neighbours and rivals Motherwell this season and have nothing to fear from their trip to Fir Park in the Premiership, especially after last week's admirable 1-1 draw against Rangers.

The Accies are still bottom but unrecognisable from the team which was playing so wretchedly in the autumn.

It's a quick turnaround for the 'Well, who were fortunate 1-0 winners at out-of-form Kilmarnock on Wednesday night and they know they'll face a battle from Hamilton.
