Stokes spot on as Bhoys strike late for a point

HAMILTON were denied their first win over Celtic in almost 22 years when Anthony Stokes claimed a last-minute leveller from the penalty spot for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League leaders at New Douglas Park last night.

James Forrest and Jim McAlister were both sent off earlier in the game and Mensing joined them when he conceded the last-gasp spot-kick as the points were shared. Freddie Ljungberg was dropped to the bench.

Hamilton went ahead in the 28th minutewhen Simon Mensing pounced to nod home. Martin Canning appeared to be in an offside position but the goal was allowed to stand.
