Know the Ref - Hamilton away

Last updated : 09 March 2010 By Stuart Gillespie

That match was way back in August and was our first win of the season, Stephen McGinn scoring twice against Kilmarnock as we came from behind to win at Rugby Park. Mr Norris' other Saints game so far this season saw similar circumstances - although on that occasion we were the home side throwing away a lead when Dundee United scored twice in the last 10 minutes just a few weeks ago.

His only other Saints game to date came last season when we drew 1-1 at home with Falkirk, Billy Mehmet scoring a correctly awarded penalty.

This will be this official's first Hamilton game of the season and he only did one last term, a 1-0 defeat at Aberdeen. The only other one showing up was in 2007/08 when Hamilton won the first division, but the game in question saw them lose to rivals St. Johnstone.

Mr Norris has shown just three red cards this season, and two of those came on the opening day. He seems to have been reasonably lenient so hopefully he'll continue that form on Thursday.
