Dumbarton face a trip to Hamilton Academical at New Douglas Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 32 and win only 12 of the 57 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Scottish Division Two match.
