Hamilton defender Sam Stubbs insists his family will not have split loyalties when Celtic visit New Douglas Park.

The on-loan Middlesbrough man is the son of Alan Stubbs, who won two league titles and three cups during his five-year spell at Parkhead, which ended in 2001.

The 20-year-old, who has played four times for Accies since heading north in August, thinks his father will be cheering on Hamilton rather than their opponents.

He said: "I think he'll be in the Hamilton camp.

"He's going to come up so I think he and the family will be supporting Hamilton."

When asked whether he had received any advice about facing Celtic from his dad, the 20-year-old added: "I've asked him a few bits about them but in terms of handling the occasion and advice, not really.

"I'd like to think hopefully I can do that on my own."
