Hamilton Accies, once a top flight side who now find themselves in the Scottish League One are under investigation by Police Scotland for possible fraud.

The pair have been made to leave any position which saw them have full authority, effect or administration they may hold at the League One outfit.

Hamilton have faced many point deductions and fines in recent times due to the current state for Accies’ with the club not managing to pay off any tax due as well as funding players wages.

In a recent interview with Police Scotland, a spokesperson stated: “On Friday, 23 May, 2025, police (Scotland) received a report of alleged fraud in the Hamilton area.

“Information is being assessed and enquiries are ongoing”.

The former Premiership side have been kicked out of former home ground, New Douglas Park in which the club now play at Broadwood as fans are scared they may lose their club in the near future and have also netted a £1.8million loss.

The League One side sit 7th in the third division, just two points off the Scottish Championship play-offs spot. Accies were faced with a six points deduction earlier in the campaign.
