Hamilton have hit back at Neil Lennon following his "no social distancing" claim.
The Celtic manager earlier questioned the coronavirus protocols being followed by both Accies and St Johnstone during an irate press conference.
Lennon said: “Show me anyone who is doing the right things.
“When we played Hibs we had to bus six players in two buses because we were told now that is the way it has to be.
“Three people on a 52 seater bus. That has not been going on throughout the season.
“We have been going to away grounds where we are cramped in like sardines.
“Boxing Day at Hamilton there was no social distancing there, there was no physical distancing.
“It is inconsistent. Protocols of different clubs are inconsistent.
“We go to St Johnstone all crammed into a little dressing room. Inconsistent.
“As soon as Celtic are deemed to do something wrong then bang. You are all wanting blood. It is absolutely scandalous.”
Accies have now responded in a statement and confirmed they are satisfied by the protocols in place at the Fountain of Youth Stadium.
It read: “It is not our policy to comment on statements made by other clubs.
"We are content that we meet the most stringent standards of Covid protocols for all people visiting our stadium.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
