Rutherglen Glencairn 1 v 1 Clyde

Clyde made the short trip to Rutherglen this afternoon to mark the opening of Glencairn’s new stadium, New Southcroft Park.

Clarke and McGowan both missed chances for The Bully Wee as they dominated the early period but the hosts took the lead after 22 minutes. Ruari MacLennan conceded a penalty and it was duly tucked away.

The junior side did well to frustrate Clyde for long spells thereafter, particularly in the second half as the wind increased.

Substitutes Kettlewell, Gibson and Trouten made a difference though, and the latter sent over a good cross that Pat Clarke converted with his head with five minutes left.

Ruari MacLennan and Sean Connolly then both missed good chances to win the match but it finished 1-1.
