The drama of the last day of the championship began 24 hours earlier when an SFA court rejected Hamilton’s call against their 15 points penalty Thursday evening – and finally put the rubber stadium.
Before the last round of matches on Friday evening, Accies is now lowered at the bottom of the league at 10 teams, also confirmed in the barrage point in ninth place.
However, there is not little intrigue at the upper end of the table, with Falkirk and Livingston who are fighting for the title, while only two points separate Partick Thistle and Raith Rovers for the final promotion barrage point.
For Hamilton, however, there has been little respite from the turmoil that has hit the club lately – and they will face a team from Falkirk to continue the victory that will see them returning to the Première for the first time in 15 years.
The access was struck last week with the penalty deduction and a fine of £ 9,000 after being found for breaking a series of rules. These included the late payment of the players, the fact of not acting in the “good faith” when they deal with the SPFL on the deletion of a transfer embargo, and incorrect information concerning the property of the stadium and their SFA license.
On Thursday, the club also revealed that they would move to Broadwood after having rejected a proposal to continue to rent the New Douglas Park of the former owner of the club.

A declaration by Hamilton said: “The club is obviously very disappointed with the appeal to the SFA court, where the decision of the SPFL court was confirmed with the result that the deduction of 15 points is.
“The board of directors is prevented from making other comments on the issue by SPFL regulations, but will communicate more with supporters at the start of the course.”
Meanwhile, the boss of Falkirk, John McGlynn, is convinced that his players manage the pressure of a tripping at the end of the season and finally won the title of champion.
The Bairns have left an 11 -point lead at the top of the table to slip in recent weeks and take place in the last round of regular season accessories with Livingston.
The McGlynn team still has a significantly higher goal difference and can ensure their long -awaited return in the high flight if they beat Hamilton at home.
Livingston of David Martindale is waiting to jump on any shift by their title rivals while they welcome Partick Thistle.
McGlynn, who was nominated for the PFA Scotland manager Prize, which he won by leading the Bairns to the Crown of Ligue 1 last season, insists that his players are ready to cope with the hope of a closed window crowds at the Falkirk stadium.
“When you enter here, there will be 7,500, 7,000 of whom will probably be our fans, all wanting the same thing,” he said.
“They will support us a million percent, but there will also be a little anxiety there. So we have to try to take a good start in the game to calm them down, which can again calm players.
“Of course, you cannot guarantee anything, but we can try our best to stay as calm as possible. There will be nerves, there is absolutely no doubt, because it would be abnormal not to have nerves in the circumstances.
“But I don’t see it as a bad thing, I don’t do it honestly. There is always uncertainty, you never know what will happen in a football match.
“Whether it’s this game, or the first game of next season, or the first game of this special season, it’s always the same thing.
“Obviously, there is a lot at stake, but we have a performance in us that can bring us to the PremierHip.”
McGlynn admits that it will be difficult to eliminate events in Livingston while the two teams seek to avoid having to settle for a place in the promotion playoffs.
“We will try not to let ourselves be distracted from the work we have to do,” he said. “But it’s difficult, because Livingston’s game is now on television, so it will be very easy for supporters to watch this and watch our game practically at the same time.
“I have no doubt that this will be transferred to the field as far as someone has marked, you generally get it. I will not look for it but you will have a feeling.
“We have to stay focused. We must have a total concentration on our game. If we do what we plan to do, then nothing else matters – do three points, the work done.
