On 23 August 2010, Hasselbaink signed for Hamilton Academical on a free transfer following his release by PSV, after impressing manager Billy Reid while on trial.[2] He made his début for Hamilton in the Scottish Premier League four days later, in a 1–0 victory against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[3]
On 6 June 2011, Hasselbaink moved to St. Mirren, signing a one-year contract.[4][5] Hasselbaink scored his first goal for the club on 30 July 2011, against Aberdeen.[6]
