Hamilton Academical's new owner Rob Edwards admits the club is still at risk of being placed in administration but is confident insolvency can be avoided. Edwards' Morley Sports Management Group bought a 97.5% stake in the troubled Scottish League 1 club from Seref Zengin on Sunday. The match at their temporary home of Broadwood in Cumbernauld was postponed because of cold weather and Edwards says overdue wages will be paid within 48 hours. Hamilton had previously relied on an emergency loan from financial services company The Funding Globe to pay players. The Funding Globe representative Jonny Towers became Accies' sole director in December but Edwards says Towers and the Funding Globe are no longer involved other than as creditors with a "secure charge against the club".
