Today we travel to Broadwood to play Clyde in another crucial League 2 clash.

OPPONENTS: CLYDE

Danny Lennon’s team are in a fantastic vein of form, unbeaten in 15 matches, their best streak since 1956-57! The Bully Wee’s senstation sequence began back in November with a 1-0 win against City at Ainslie Park and they have not looked back since. They have a squad full of quality players with the experienced John Rankin in great form and talisman David Goodwillie back to full fitness in recent weeks. Per their website, Chris McStay and Ally Love are expected to return to the squad. Kris Syvertsen, however, is doubtful due to a neck injury.

KITS

Clyde will be in their home colours, with City changing to all black.

ENTRY

Admission prices at Balmoor are; adults £14, concessions £9, Under-12s FREE (when accompanied by an adult). Free under-12 tickets should be collected from the Clyde Office before entering via the turnstiles. The office is situated in the pod at the south end of the Main Stand.

TEAM NEWS

Our injury list still includes John Dunn, Keiran Stewart and Danny Handling.

PREVIOUS MEETING

As we touched on previously, Clyde’s historic unbeaten run started back in November at Ainslie Park, when a John Rankin drive was enough to separate the teams. Prior that we have visited Broadwood twice this season, drawing 1-1 in the BetFred Cup back in July and then winning 2-0 on league duty a month later. Today is likely to be another titanic clash in the promotion battle!

#OURECFC

Following the drama of last week’s defeat in the semi-final of the Irn-Bru Challenge Cup, we re-focus on League duty against the Blue Brazil.

OPPONENTS: cowdenbeath

Gary Bollan’s side have had a much more positive campaign this season, having found themselves in the relegation playoff for the last two years running. The Blue Brazil have been hard to beat and competitive even when on the losing side and tomorrow is sure to be another tough encounter.

KITS

Both sides are scheduled to wear their home colours.

ENTRY

Admission prices at Ainslie Park will be £12 for adults, £6 concessions, with under 12s free and a cash gate will be open.

Our half price entry offer for season ticket holders of Hearts, Hibs, Spartans and now Murrayfield Racers, will be available.

SUPPORTERS’ BAR

Sadly due to corporate bookings the supporters’ bar will not be open.

TEAM NEWS

Our injury list still includes John Dunn, Keiran Stewart and Danny Handling. Both Jack Breen and Adam Watson are available having been cup-tied for last week’s cup match.
