Accies stopper happy for squad to stay the same

Hamilton defender Mark McLaughlin believes it is imperative Billy Reid's squad is retained this summer.

Although The Accies are unlikely to make a glut of signings in the coming months, McLaughlin will not mind one bit providing they can retain their key players.

A contract dispute between Czech club Sigma Olomouk and Hamilton has placed Tomas Cerny's future in doubt while Brian Easton, James McArthur and James McCarthy have been linked with moves to bigger clubs.

Same again

"It'll be the same squad again and that doesn't worry me," explained McLaughlin.

"The main thing is we don't lose any players.

"I hope we can keep hold of Brian and the two James' and Tomas gets his problems sorted out."
