Neil "disappointed" by Hamilton defeat

Alex Neil has admitted that he is "disappointed" by the team's defeat to Hibernian in the first leg of the Scottish Premiership playoff final.

Jason Cummings scored a brace to give the visitors a 2-0 lead ahead of Sunday's second leg at Easter Road.

The player-manager told Sky Sports News: "It's halfway in the tie and we're disappointed because we were the better team in the first half.

"I can't fault the players but in the final third our decision making could've been better, Hibs just took their chances. We tried our best and that bit of quality in the final third was lacking."

Hamilton beat Falkirk earlier in the playoffs to clinch their place in the final.
