Hamilton ended their poor recent run of form by convincingly beating league newcomers Peterhead 3-0.

Former Rangers veteran Robert Prytz opened the scoring with a well-taken penalty after Scott Patterson was adjudged to have handled a David McFarlane effort.

Within seconds, a cross from new signing Stuart Callaghan was driven into the far corner of the net by young Martin Bonnar.

The clinching third came nine minutes after the re-start in a move set up by Prytz.

Jim Sherry latched onto the veteran's slick pass to cut the ball across the face of the goal where Mark Nelson was well placed to slot the ball home.
