Diehard Accies fan Alastair Lindsay took the helm of the New Douglas Park side as they were trounced by professional gamer Melvin Boere 10-1 in the Quaran-Team Tournament second round.

The FIFA20 competition has been testing the skills of some of the top eSports talent from across the globe on Twitch TV as part of the 128-team tournament organised by Leyton Orient.
