HAMILTON (SW) - Scottish Premier League newcomers Hamilton Academical FC began their campaign with an impressive 3-1 win over Dundee United on Monday.
Hamilton had a bad start as McLaughlin scored an own goal in the 23rd minute, but Stevenson levelled the score six minutes later.
McArthur then put the home side in the lead six minutes ahead of the break, and the decider came from Graham just after the hour mark.
Hamilton made their way back into Scotland's top flight after a nineteen-year absence, winning the 2007-08 First Division with a seven-points margin over Dundee FC.
