Brown: We Went Missing

Photo by Jeff Holmes Skipper Scott Brown accused Celtic's players of hiding during the shock 1-0 defeat by Hamilton at Parkhead.

An Ali Crawford strike in the second half saw Accies win at Celtic Park for the first time in 78 years to go top of the Premiership. The boos rang round the stadium at full-time as the home side sloped off after missing a barrow load of chances. Celtic sit in sixth place in the table having lost 10 points already this season and an angry Brown was in no mood to go easy on his team-mates, while taking a share of the blame himself. The "devastated" Scotland international said: "We missed a few chances but at the end we didn't deserve anything to be perfectly honest. "We didn't play as well as we should have. We didn't have enough movement and there weren't enough people wanting the ball. "People were just hiding and it was disappointing to see and play in. "We tried to play but Hamilton pressed us high up the pitch and teams don't do that at Celtic Park. "We should be pressing teams high up the park and it hasn't happened. "I don't do getting beat. I came to Celtic to win games and we are not winning games and performing just now and I don't know why that is. "We are just not doing it as a team and as individuals. I take my share of the blame as well in there. "I am not laying the blame at everybody else because we are all in this together as a team. "We are just waiting for somebody like Kris (Commons) to score a wonder goal from 30 yards and then we are all happy but that doesn't happen every week. "At the end of the day, we weren't good enough." It was Celtic's first home league defeat since November 2012, when they lost to Inverness but the supporters, many losing patience with new boss Ronny Deila, were furious. Asked about the fans' reaction, the former Hibernian player said: "It is not just the fans; frustrations there are my own frustrations as well. "Everyone in that dressing room should be devastated with that result. "Celtic are huge. When I first came I didn't realise how big a club it is. "The players have to realise that this is a huge club. You look at the fans and I can understand why they were booing. "We don't want that. We should be entertaining them and we aren't doing that just now." Deila, however, insists he has no concerns about the haphazard start to the league campaign. He said: "I'm not worried at all. I think we're progressing. "When you have 10 to 15 chances, you have played quite well. We got the full-backs more into the attack, we got more set-plays and more crosses. "With so many chances, you should win the game, no question. "But of course you need to put the ball in the net, that is what football is about. "So the result is very disappointing - and that we couldn't get anything more out of so many chances." Newly-promoted Accies' remarkable start to the season continues - they have lost only one league game - and player/manager Alex Neil is hoping the fans are enjoying it. He said: "If you are a Hamilton Accies fan and not top of the world at the moment, you never will be. If you're an Accies fan this is the pinnacle. "We had a really successful season last year that culminated in going to Hibs and knocking them out the Premiership but today it was David versus Goliath if you look at the teams. "Celtic are an institution in Scotland, where we're a small club with 1500 fans. "Celtic have 50,000 and that's only the ones who come to the games. "There's a huge gulf in terms of the clubs but on the pitch it's 11 against 11 and I thought our team were magnificent, particularly as they were such a young group. "I am with the players every day and I see how hard they work and I want it so bad for them. "All the plaudits they get is fully deserved."
