2pm Kick-off

Hamilton Accies ended their season with a bang with a well deserved 3-1 victory in the Highland capital.
Accies were two up against Inverness City before the break as striker Karen Baillie ended her goal drought, before the hosts pulled one back in the second half.
But a bullet from Florence Haines inside the box sealed the deal for Accies as they ended 2015 with another win.
Manager Gary Doctor said he was delighted with how the team went about the match.

"With the condition of the pitch it could have went south very quickly had they scored first, but we dug in and got the first two through Karen, who hasn't scored this season, it's a bit like buses for her.
"Their goal was a strange deflection but it was a great goal from Flo to make sure we grabbed the points so I'm delighted to end the season with a win."
After only twenty Baillie grabbed her first of the match.  She looked to have took too heavy a touch as keeper Kim Jappy came out to collect, but she spilled it for Baillie to capitalise and slip it by her for her first of the season.
And on the 38th she made it two after lovely play from the visitors.  Tiffany Kawana-Waugh picked out Jennifer Borland in the middle who fought off pressure from the hosts well to send out wide for Gillian Inglis to drive forward and set up Baillie inside the box who rounded the keeper and doubled the advantage.
Hamilton  dominated the second half with a series of corners and close chances but it was City who took the first goal of the half through a deflection, as Alex Andrews' effort looked to be going past but bounced off Fleming's shin with just over twenty to go.
But the hosts provided no real threat despite reducing the deficit to one, and four minutes later Laura Gallen found Haines just at the corner of the box, who fired an unstoppable bullet across Jappy and into the net for Accies to see out the  long season with a brilliant victory and a happy long journey home.
