Hamilton Accies sort Rangers clash commentator after 'jobby-gate' sacking

Hamilton Accies have found a replacement for sacked 'jobby-gate' commentator Bobby Bulloch ahead of Sunday's clash with Rangers.

The Premiership's bottom side have made headlines across the UK and beyond after relieving Bulloch of his duties last night for telling viewers he had "went for a wee jobby" during coverage of Hamilton's 2-1 defeat to Ross County.

Hamilton have acted swiftly to find his replacement for the visit of the league leaders this weekend, with media assistant Nikolas McInally joining lead commentator Tony Haggerty for Accies TV coverage.

And they will look at having sidelined first team players join the coverage for the remainder of the season.

A Hamilton spokesman told Lanarkshire Live Sport : “Club media assistant Nickolas McInally will fill in on Sunday with Tony Haggerty for the match against Rangers.

"Nickolas has worked with the club for the past 18 months and knows the club well.

"We’re sure he will have no problem taking on the role until we make a decision on a longer term replacement that could likely see injured players make guest appearances.”

Rock-bottom Accies are desperately seeking point in their battle for survival, but face a Rangers side who are unbeaten this season - and who fired home eight goals without reply in their previous meeting at Ibrox in November last year.
