Hamilton Accies boss Alex Neil is determined to make the most of a second chance of promotion after his side beat Falkirk 1-0 on Sunday to set up a Premiership play-off final against Hibernian.

Accies were pipped by Dundee for the Championship title but now face Hibs at New Douglas Park on Wednesday and Easter Road on Sunday for a place in the top flight in 2014/15.

He said: "I was aggrieved that we didn't win the league and we have used that as motivation in terms of saying that we maybe blew that opportunity but now you have the second bite at the cherry.
 
"What you don't want to do is let it bypass you twice. You know how hurt you were after the first time and so let's make sure you don't have that feeling again.
 
"To get a crack at Hibs is great. We have had a great journey this season and I didn't want it to end against Falkirk."
