Striker ruled out for rest of season
Hamilton striker Derek Lyle has been been ruled out for the rest of the season through injury.
Lyle sustained a cruciate knee ligament problem in the early stages of Saturday's goalless draw with Falkirk.
Accies boss Billy Hamilton admitted it was a massive blow for Lyle to suffer such a long-term injury.
"It was ligament damage that will keep him out for the season," bemoaned Reid.
"He has had it scanned and most definitely the season is over for him.
"My heart goes out to Derek Lyle and his family, he has worked really hard to get himself in to the shape he is in.
"I'm devastated for the lad because he has been a stalwart for me but has been in and out of the team.
"For the first time since he came to the club he has nailed down a position and he has played in the last three or four games and for that to happen is gutting for him."
