Ross County can move five points clear of the Scottish Premiership relegation playoff place with a win over out-of-form Hamilton Academical today.

Ruben Palazuelos returns for the Staggies after long-term injury and starts on the bench, but Rocco Quinn and Richard Brittain remain injured. Jake Jervis leads the line for Ross County.

Hamilton, who have earned just two points in their last six league games, welcome back Jesus Garcia Tena after suspension, but Adin El Zubaidi misses out due to international duty with Iraq and Stephen Hendrie is missing due to injury.

Hamilton: McGovern; Gordon, Garcia Tena, Devlin, MacDonald; Gillespie, Imrie, Lyon, MacDonald, Redmond; Scotland, Crawford

Ross County: Brown; Boyd, Reckord, Gardyne, Fraser; P Quinn, Kiss, Woods, Curran, De Vita; Jervis
