History of the Clyde v Raith Rovers fixture

Clyde prepare to entertain Raith Rovers at Broadwood Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bully Wee are clearly on top, having won 33 and lost only 13 of the 61 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadwood Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Scottish Division One match.
