History of the Clyde v Raith Rovers fixture

Clyde prepare to entertain Raith Rovers at Broadwood Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bully Wee are clearly on top, having won 32 and lost only 13 of the 59 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadwood Stadium was two seasons ago, in February 2002, with Raith Rovers inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Bully Wee in a Scottish Division One match.
