PREVIEW: Clyde v Cowdenbeath
The 2018-19 Scottish league season begins tomorrow, with Clyde hosting Cowdenbeath in a Ladbrokes League 2 opener at Broadwood.
The Blue Brazil enjoyed a relatively successful Betfred Cup campaign last month, finishing third in Group C after winning two matches, including a fine away win at Raith Rovers.
For Clyde tomorrow, Kevin Nicoll and Eddie Ferns are suspended, with David Hopkirk unavailable for selection. Jordan Stewart, however, returns to the squad after missing last week’s match against Motherwell due to a ban.
