It’s now just a chuckle rather than a full on laugh when word comes through of another defeat at Ibrox.
Just as Hibs and Aberdeen can defy the form book by losing to anyone so can Sevco.
Hamilton Accies. With the smallest budget in the Premiership, the worst pitch and stadium in the division and having some how managed to lose £900,000.
A regular home support of around 1,500 who regularly give Martin Canning the fiercest of abuse.
.@btsportfootball Is it really such a huge surprise Rangers losing to Hamilton ??

In a bid to fight off relegation last season, in May David Cooper Templeton was brought in after 20 months out of football.
In overall terms life is fairly bleak at Hamilton but they have an identity, a good idea of their place in the game and go about their business without delusions.
This season ‘Fortress Ibrox’ has been demolished on the park, their off pitch problems can’t be buried in the long grass forever.
December looks like being a brutal month, Aberdeen , Hibs and Celtic away must leave Graham Murty praying for the letters A McL appearing on a Sports Direct trackie every morning he turns up at Murray Park.
Having called out Ronny Deila, Mark Warburton and Pedro Caixinha Sevco could do worse than contact Chris Sutton before they reveal their next messiah, assuming that they can afford the fee for their least favourite footy pundit.
