Clyde 3 v 3 Dundee

Clyde were looking to bounce back from the disastrous midweek cup defeat by Gretna, but had to do so without the suspended Williams and the injured McGregor and Masterton. In came Boudaji, McDonald and Hunter.

The game had barely started when Clyde got off to the worst possible start. After Boudaji had knocked a cross behind for a corner, Grady swung the ball in to find the diminutive figure of Tam McManus in space 6 yards out to bullet a header past Jarvie. For one of the smallest players on the park to get a near free header so early in the game, was alarming to say the least.

The same player was looking lively up front for the dark blues, and threatened the Clyde goal on 9 minutes with a shot that went wide.

Although behind, Clyde were enjoying a fair amount of possession and a lot of space, especially McGowan on the right wing. The Northern Ireland Internationalist linked well with Bryson and Clyde were awarded their first corner on 12 minutes.

The now trademark Clyde corner saw Malone expertly drill the ball near post, Higgins superbly flicked it on, and Brighton took Williams place to meet the ball a yard out and header home, much to his delight.

As the match wore on, McGowan was being overlooked when in acres of space, and too frequently, moves were breaking down, when he was always an ideal outball.

As possession was surrendered Dundee started to push forward more and more, and McManus again threatened with a neat shot on the turn that Jarvie gathered gratefully.

Jarvie then played the ball upfield, and the ball was gathered with ease by the Dundee defence, however ex Clyde man Stuart McLuskey was wasteful in possession and fed the ball straight to Bryson on the halfway line. As the youngster broke forward he fed Hunter, who had the vision, so many had lacked and showed some neat skills to release McGowan. The full back drove into the space in front of him and fired a wicked low cross beyond Kelvin Jack and across goal, only for the unfortunate Calum McDonald to turn the ball into his own net. In fairness the quality of ball provided, made it almost impossible for the youngster to do anything else.

Such was Clyde
