History of the Queen of the South v Clyde fixture

Clyde face a trip to Queen of the South at Palmerston Park on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bully Wee will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.
