MATCH PREVIEW - CLYDE (A)

Saturday see's us make our second visit of the season to Broadwood Stadium to face Clyde with a 3 p.m. kick off.

With our home game against the Bully Wee in mid December being postponed we have only faced Clyde once this season, also at Broadwood,in September when a last minute penalty from Harvey Swann cancelled out an opener from Smart Osadolor.

Since that meeting both sides have of course changed their managers with both Gary Bollan and Danny Lennon facing their old sides on Saturday. Gary played for the Bully Wee before taking on the role of Head of Youth for a few seasons and was interim manager for a short spell at Broadwood a decade ago.

Danny wound down his playing career with us and went onto guide us to successive promotions from the Third Division to the First Division before moving on to take over at St Mirren.

David Cox serves a one game suspension with top scorer Robbie Buchanan also missing out after suffering a broken hand. Clyde will be without Ally Love who starts a five game ban.
