History of the Airdrie United v Clyde fixture

Clyde face a trip to Airdrie United at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium on Saturday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 32 of the 86 previous games, with the hosts winning just 31.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2008, with Clyde inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Diamonds in a Scottish League Play-Offs (Lvls 2&3) match.
