Meeting of old friends at New Douglas Park

Last updated : 18 September 2004 By David Worton
Clyde travel this afternoon to play a Hamilton team managed by ex-Clyde boss Allan Maitland, run by ex-Clyde chief executive Ronnie McDonald and who also have on their staff, people like Denis McDaid and Les Gray. On the field, Brian Carrigan, Brian McPhee, David McEwan and Chris Aitken have all played for Clyde at one point. However, the real ex-Clyde legend, is Pat Keogh. Paddy played over 200 games for Clyde, scoring about 50 goals. A real favourite of the Clyde fans, Paddy moved on in the summer following a hat trick in his last ever game for the Bully Wee but has struggled with his form at Hamilton. He's just about guarenteed to score today then!!

Other ex-Clyde favourites, Mark McLaughlin and Stevie Convery, both miss out through injury. Marko especially will be a big miss for the Accies.

Meanwhile, Clyde can include French midfield star Mickael Marsiglia as international clearance has come through in time. Also returning are leftback Eddie Malone, who was cup tied in midweek, and midfielder Darren Sheridan. Sheridan in particular has been missed in the last two games and gives some bite in midfield. There could also be a starting place for Gary Arbuckle, but Gary Bollan is set to miss out.
