Hamilton boss Billy Reid insists that his side would be safe already if he had had his strongest side available throughout the season.
Accies only managed to win one of their opening nine games but have now managed to open up a six-point gap over basement side Falkirk, having lost just one of their last six matches.
Dougie Imrie and Mickael Antoine-Curier are back in the fold, while captain Alex Neil, James McArthur and Mark McLaughlin have also returned and Hamilton can extend their lead over Falkirk at the weekend when the two sides clash at New Douglas Park.
Reid said: "I asked people only to judge us when we had our full team."
