Motherwell play Hamilton Accies in a crucial Lanarkshire derby at Fir Park on Friday night, live on BT Sport with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Ian Baraclough's men go into the game currently occupying the relegation play-off place after a 2-1 defeat at Pittodrie a week ago but a win this evening would move them level on points with Ross County, who host Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Accies drew 2-2 with Ross County last weekend but the New Douglas Park side have now gone 10 matches without a victory since beating St Johnstone 1-0 at McDiarmid Park on January 4.

Hamilton have dominated this fixture in 2014/15, knocking Motherwell out of the League Cup on penalties after a 0-0 draw at New Douglas Park in September then storming to a 4-0 win at Fir Park in the Premiership three days later.

The most recent meeting between the sides on New Year's Day saw Accies notch up a 5-0 home victory thanks to goals from Dougie Imrie, Ali Crawford, Mickael Antoine-Curier, Tony Andreu and Danny Redmond.
