Celtic v Hamilton: Bookies snub shock result as Accies handed huge underdog price

Hamilton Accies face a huge challenge for their Scottish Premiership opener against Celtic today - and the bookies odds reflect that.

Neil Lennon's side are hoping to get their bid for 10 top flight titles in a row off to the perfect start today, with some bookmakers touting them at 1/20 to steamroller the Lanarkshire men.

Despite pulling off a huge shock in March as they stunned Steven Gerrard and Rangers at Ibrox with a 1-0 win, the bookies don't seem to think the New Douglas Park can make it a double over the Old Firm.

Some have Accies as long as 40/1 to pull off the opening day win at Celtic Park.

The visitors would have to buck the trend today of their poor opening day record. They have yet to secure a win on the first day of the campaign in the Scottish Premiership era.
