Problem Statement

In an acute-angled triangle ABCABC with orthocenter HH, the line AHAH cuts BCBC at point A1A_1. Let Γ\Gamma be a circle centered on side ABAB tangent to AA1AA_1 at point HH. Prove that Γ\Gamma is tangent to the circumscribed circle of triangle AMA1AMA_1, where MM is the midpoint of ACAC.
