Paixão was released from his contract with Hamilton with immediate effect on 14 April 2011, alongside his brother.[4] He appeared in 61 official games for the Accies, scoring 11 goals.
Tractor Sazi
On 2 August 2011 Paixão signed a one-year contract with Tractor Sazi F.C. in Iran, for an undisclosed fee.[5] In his first season he netted a club-best ten goals in the Pro League, being voted by Goal.com as best player on the team.[6]
