Hamilton crashed out of the Scottish Cup fifth round as Stephen Humphrys and Cammy Devlin earned Hearts a comfortable passage to the last 16.On-loan Wigan star Humphrys struck his second goal in as many games just before the half-hour, and substitute Devlin scrambled in a second with 11 minutes left to see the Edinburgh giants progress.Hearts dominated the first half, and Hamilton did better in the second half but still couldn't test Zander Clark enough in the visitors' goal.Hamilton went into the game on a run of six games unbeaten in all competitions - and five wins in that sequence - but Hearts are competing for Europa League qualification from the Premiership and just had too much quality throughout.Hearts dominated the first half but without doing too much with it.
They had plenty of possession and when the opener came it wasn't really a surprise, but they didn't have too many clear-cut chances.Hamilton improved considerably in the second half, with Matty Shiels pushed up front, and forced a couple of decent saves, but still not enough to cause considerable concern.Josh Ginnelly did a lot of the running for the visitors, and Humphrys had a couple of chances he should have done better with before opening the scoring.James Hill should have added a second before the interval from Stephen Kingsley's cross following a short corner move.But tenacity from Devlin saw him force his way past Dan O'Reilly in the box and he stabbed a low shot into the right corner to end the game as a contest.Accies head coach John Rankin made two change to the side that beat Queen of the South 2-1 in the SPFL Trust Trophy semi-finals on Tuesday.
