Clyde prepare to entertain Stranraer at Broadwood Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 23 previous games, with the Bully Wee winning just 11.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadwood Stadium was earlier this season, the Bully Wee carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
