(40 minutes later)
A football match has been abandoned after a player collapsed with a serious injury. A football match was abandoned after an 18-year-old defender was caught in the throat and collapsed on the pitch.
The Hamilton versus Clyde game was abandoned by the referee after 75 minutes on Saturday afternoon following the incident at New Douglas Park. It is believed Hamilton player Ross McCabe suffered heart failure as a result of the challenge during the Accies versus Clyde match on Saturday.
The player was taken by ambulance to Wishaw General Hospital. His condition is not yet known. The referee abandoned the New Douglas Park game with about 10 minutes to go.
The man has not been named but it has been confirmed he plays for Division 1 side Hamilton. A defibrillator was used to revive the youngster who was then taken by ambulance to Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride.
The Accies FC website confirmed that one of its players had suffered "an extremely serious injury". Both Hamilton Academicals medical staff and Clyde doctor Frank Dunn, a consultant cardiologist, treated the youngster.
The website posting read: "The match between Accies and Clyde was abandoned midway through the second half when one of the Accies players suffered an extremely serious injury. I'm told he sat up and asked where his front tooth was John RuddyClyde press officer
"The first aiders came onto the park right away and an ambulance arrived 10 minutes later. Clyde press officer, John Ruddy, said: "All of a sudden both sets of players were screaming to the touchline and for the referee to get the medical teams and the stretchers on.
"The player sat up on the stretcher as it was lifted onto the ambulance." "I think people thought it was perhaps a leg break."
An ambulance was called and drove onto the pitch to assist.
McCabe, who only joined Academicals in March, was eventually revived after treatment.
Condition not known
Mr Ruddy added: "I'm told he sat up and asked where his front tooth was.
"But, the medical staff and first aid staff who treated him were all terrific."
Hamilton secretary Scott Struthers said that the youngster was taken to Hairmyres hospital in East Kilbride for treatment, but that his condition is not known.
The First Division match, which was being drawn 3-3 at the time, will now have to be replayed.
