Boss John Rankin says he can handle angry Accies fans calling for him to quit after his side blew the chance to cut the gap on leaders Falkirk with a dramatic defeat to Annan.A Tommy Goss header in 33 minutes and a thumping Wullie Gibson volley five minutes into the second half had Accies trailing.A Matty Douglas own goal and a 90th minute equaliser from Jake Davidson looked to have earned battling Accies a point.However, Josh Walker won it for the visitors when he headed home Kai Nugent’s cross in the 93rd minute and that sparked some ugly scenes at the end, as home fans surrounded the dugout yelling ‘Rankin Out.’The defeat leaves Accies eight points behind the Bairns, having played a game more, and Rankin said: “I can take it.
That is part and parcel of the game.“The same fans would have been jumping about if we’d won the game.“The players are devastated and the fans are frustrated.“If their frustration lies with me, I totally understand that.
I get it and, at the end of the day, the players are led by me.“The game was there to be won and we need to win games.“We remained brave to go and try and win it and it has cost us three points."He added: "Is 2-2 at home good enough, no?
