The 2014–15 season was Hamilton Academical's first season in the top flight of Scottish football since 2010-11 season, and their first in the newly established Scottish Premiership having been promoted from the 2013–14 Scottish Championship through the Play-offs. Hamilton also competed in the League Cup and the Scottish Cup.

Summary

Management

The club began the 2014-15 season under the management of Alex Neil. On 9 January 2015, Neil left to become the new manager of, at the time, English Championship side Norwich City.[1] Martin Canning was appointed Caretaker Player-manager, and was later on 23 January 2015 officially appointed Player-manager.[2] With top goalscorer Tony Andreu also leaving,[3] the club suffered with the sudden departures and Canning had to wait 14 matches for his first victory as manager, coming on 24 April 2015 in the Lanarkshire derby at home to Motherwell.[4]
