Hamilton's Flavio Paixao has high hopes that his team's last-gasp 1-0 win on Saturday against St Mirren will be the start of a run of form which will keep the Lanarkshire side well out of the relegation quagmire. The Portuguese striker headed home in the 92nd minute of the league game at New Douglas Park, allowing Accies to swap places with the Buddies and sit in 10th place in the table. Hamilton are now six points ahead of bottom side Falkirk, who visit New Douglas Park next weekend. Paixao said: "It's the most important goal I've scored for Hamilton and I think we deserved it as we work really hard in the week and have deserved it before now. I had asked the gaffer (Billy Reid) how much time was left and he said there were three minutes to be added, so I said, 'come on, keep believing'. In football, if you don't believe you have nothing, so I believed in the team and in trying to score - fortunately I did and it was an emotional goal as it was very important for us. Everybody is really happy as it's a massive victory for Hamilton; we're up above St Mirren and on the same points as Kilmarnock, and hopefully next week can be the same." |
