Johnny Hunt says Hamilton are getting stronger all the time and should be ready for Saturday’s Betfred Cup Group F opener against Queen’s Park.
Left-back Hunt, 28, is one of several new faces at New Douglas Park this summer, but he feels that they’re ready for the challenge ahead.
He said: “We’ve still got a bit more to go, we have a couple of days to get ready for it, but the lads are getting more minutes in them now and I think, come Saturday, we will be there or thereabouts.
“We’re stronger just from having had games. The training sessions are being tailored so it’s football-based, a lot of fitness work in that sense, so we are getting up to scratch.
“Pre-season is important; you’re getting to know players, there are new players coming in, like myself, playing with the players who were here last season, working up little partnerships and getting a good team shape.”
