History of the St. Mirren v Clyde fixture

Clyde face a trip to St. Mirren at St Mirren Park on Saturday afternoon, 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 March 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division One match.
