Hamilton have hit back at Neil Lennon following his "no social distancing" claim.
The Celtic manager earlier questioned the coronavirus protocols being followed by both Accies and St Johnstone during an irate press conference.
Lennon said: “Show me anyone who is doing the right things.
“When we played Hibs we had to bus six players in two buses because we were told now that is the way it has to be.
“Three people on a 52 seater bus. That has not been going on throughout the season.
“We have been going to away grounds where we are cramped in like sardines.
“Boxing Day at Hamilton there was no social distancing there, there was no physical distancing.
“It is inconsistent. Protocols of different clubs are inconsistent.
“We go to St Johnstone all crammed into a little dressing room. Inconsistent.
“As soon as Celtic are deemed to do something wrong then bang. You are all wanting blood. It is absolutely scandalous.”
Accies have now responded in a statement and confirmed they are satisfied by the protocols in place at the Fountain of Youth Stadium.
It read: “It is not our policy to comment on statements made by other clubs.
"We are content that we meet the most stringent standards of Covid protocols for all people visiting our stadium.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
