Hamilton Accies retained their Ladbrokes Premiership status thanks to a 1-0 win over Dundee United at the SuperSeal Stadium on Sunday.

It finished 0-0 in the first leg of the play-off final at Tannadice on Thursday night and it was another tight encounter in the return match with so much at stake.

The only goal came after 64 minutes when Greg Docherty fired home from outside the area to ensure a fourth successive season in the top flight for Martin Canning's men.

Ray McKinnon's side didn’t create too many chances - although Simon Murray came close to an equaliser late on - and now face a second year in the Championship.
