With Laidlaw sidelined, Hamilton aims to prove his worth in upcoming matches.
Topics covered
In a challenging turn of events for Ross County, goalkeeper Jack Hamilton is poised to take center stage as he steps in for the injured Ross Laidlaw. The 30-year-old custodian is gearing up for a crucial Premiership clash against third-placed Rangers this Sunday, following Laidlaw’s unfortunate knee injury that could sideline him for up to ten weeks.
Hamilton’s determination to seize the moment
Hamilton, who previously played for Livingston and Hearts, was thrust into action during last week’s heavy defeat against Celtic, where he entered the match at halftime with the team already trailing 5-0.
Despite having just recovered from an illness, Hamilton was eager to contribute, showcasing his commitment to the team. “You just need to be able to deal with it as a goalie, especially when Ross has started the season so well,” he remarked, emphasizing the importance of staying prepared and focused.
New signing adds depth to the squad
In a bid to bolster their squad, Ross County recently signed Jordan Amissah, a 23-year-old German goalkeeper, on a short-term deal. Amissah, who has experience with clubs like Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, will provide additional support as Hamilton takes on the starting role. Hamilton expressed his enthusiasm for the competition within the squad, stating, “We’ve got a really good group who try to help each other. It is a bit of competition, but what matters is we need results for the team.”
Facing Rangers: A tough challenge ahead
As Hamilton prepares for the upcoming match against Rangers, he acknowledges the challenge that lies ahead. The Gers recently suffered a 6-0 defeat against Kilmarnock, and Hamilton believes they will be eager to bounce back. “They are a top side. It will be a really tough game for us,” he noted. However, Hamilton remains optimistic about Ross County’s home form, which has been strong, particularly in Dingwall. “It is always good to step out there with that confidence in front of your own fans,” he added, highlighting the importance of home support.
With Laidlaw’s injury presenting a significant opportunity for Hamilton, the goalkeeper is determined to make the most of his chance. “I want to play football and take part in as many games as possible,” he stated, looking forward to proving his capabilities on the pitch. As the team gears up for their next challenge, all eyes will be on Hamilton to see how he rises to the occasion.
