MAC attack: Striker determined to hit the goal trail and retain Accies forward berth

The striker netted for the seventh time this term in spectacular fashion last weekend as his superb volley helped Hamilton to all three points against Dundee.

Victory over Paul Hartley's side ended a frustrating recent run of form for the surprise package of the Premiership campaign so far.

Hamilton head into their clash at Ross County tomorrow knowing a win could take them up to second place in the standings if other results go their way.

MAC has had to fight it out with veteran forward Jason Scotland for a starting berth this season as boss Alex Neil has mixed up his attacking line.

But the 31-year-old is determined to add to 18 his appearances and impressive goal tally in the coming weeks.

He said: "I was really disappointed not to play against Partick in the cup.

"After that, I didn't play against Aberdeen and I was upset. The manager gave me a call and said I would be starting against Dundee so hopefully that will keep me in the team and I can play well.

"I think that is seven goals in 14 starts and I am trying to be up there and score as many goals as I can.

"I am focusing on myself and getting prepared and hopefully I get the call.

"At the minute, I am showing what I am capable of and that is scoring goals.

"That is my main thing, to score goals and to contribute to the team. It is good for me to score.

"I have confidence in myself, I am a self motivator.

"Every time I cross that white line the only thing that matters to me is scoring and helping my team."
