SCOTTISH FC -              Hamilton midfielder Delphin Tshiembe admits their Ladbrokes Premiership relegation battle is the most intense he has experienced.

The 27-year-old played for five Danish clubs after coming through the youth ranks of FC Copenhagen but the three-way fight between Accies, Dundee and St Mirren is shaping up to be a fight to the end with four points separating the bottom three.

Tshiembe, whose side lead the way ahead of Saturday';s visit of Hearts, said: "I';ve been part of a team that fought against relegation in Denmark so I know what it';s like to be in this position.

"It';s all about hard work and taking one game at a time, and I';m pretty sure we have the quality to stay up.

"I would say it';s different because this is only three teams whereas in Denmark it was between seven teams. So it';s more intense and the pressure is different."

The Congolese midfielder added: "Personally I don';t change my mindset. My mindset is always to win, that';s the most important thing.

"Obviously when we play against bigger teams, yes, we will be happy with one point but in my mind it';s all about three points to start with because it';s 11 v 11 and one ball. So anything can happen.

"That';s the mindset I have and I';m pretty sure my team-mates are the same."
