"Hamilton Academical players are considering refusing to play Saturday's Scottish League 1 match against East Fife if they are not paid on time. The embattled club have informed the Scottish Professional Football League they are unlikely to be able to pay their players' monthly salaries before the new year. A spokesperson for PFA Scotland told BBC Scotland: "We are aware of what is happening at Hamilton and have advised the players of their rights.""
"Hamilton were relegated last season after receiving a 15-point penalty for a number of transgressions, including the non-payment of players, issues over the ownership of their stadium and player registration. They left their hometown ground and moved to Broadwood Stadium, 15 miles away in Cumbernauld, this summer and were then issued a six-point penalty in October after paying trialists and fielding amateur players while under a transfer embargo."

The club informed the Scottish Professional Football League that it is unlikely to be able to pay players' salaries before the new year. PFA Scotland has advised players of their contractual rights. Hamilton received a 15-point deduction last season for non-payment, stadium ownership issues and player-registration breaches. The club moved to Broadwood Stadium and received a six-point penalty in October for paying trialists and fielding amateur players under a transfer embargo. A further nine-point deduction followed for failing to secure a bronze-level Scottish FA licence.
