The club will seek to reach their first Scottish Cup semi-final in 78 years when they challenge Falkirk this weekend and that was accounted for in a concise press release yesterday. That feat, back in 1935, might have been considered a good omen since Hamilton made it all the way to the final that year – where they lost to Rangers – but Billy Reid will need to furnish his team talk with something else, with the '80s seeming a lifetime ago for some of his players and, for many, they are.
