Former Celtic winger joins SPL rivals

Hamilton have signed midfielder Nicky Riley following his release by Celtic last month. The 23-year-old wide player has signed a contract until the end of the season after training with the club for several weeks. Riley played for the Celtic first team on a pre-season tour of Poland in 2006 but serious injury problems derailed his career. Hamilton are embroiled in a relegation scrap as they currently sit above only Falkirk in the SPL table.
