Hamilton Accies boss Alex Neil was thrilled for the players and supporters after his side beat Celtic 1-0 on Sunday to go top of the Scottish Premiership.

It was the Lanarkshire club's first victory at Parkhead for three quarters of a century, thanks to a second-half goal from Ali Crawford.

Neil said: "If you are a Hamilton Accies fan and not top of the world at the moment, you never will be - this is the pinnacle.

"We had a really successful season last year that culminated in going to Hibs and knocking them out the Premiership but this was David versus Goliath if you look at the teams.

"There's a huge gulf in terms of the clubs but on the pitch it's 11 against 11 and I thought our team were magnificent, particularly as they were such a young group.

"I am with the players every day and I see how hard they work and I want it so bad for them. All the plaudits they get is fully deserved."
