Match Report

TTA report

Clyde committed 8 fouls in the first 7 minutes and had 5 players booked. Thistle found it impossible to get any passing going. Clyde scored from one of the 3 chances they made all night (58). Hardie was sent off following “an incident“ with a Clyde player (63) and a late rally came to nothing. Horrible.

Media report

PAT OF GOLD AS CLYDE SHOCK JAGS. PAT KEOGH stunned First Division high-fliers Partick Thistle as he headed Clyde into their first Challenge Cup semi-final last night. Keogh pounced after 58 minutes to settle a frenetic tie fought out in front of 2385 fans at Broadwood. Clyde thoroughly deserved their shock win and Jags finished with 10 men after Martin Hardie was sent off for swinging an elbow at Craig Bingham.

Jags, who included new signing Paul Walker in their starting line-up, almost snatched the lead after 60 seconds when Danny Lennon's free-kick found Gerry Britton in space in the box and his first-time shot was palmed round the post by Kevin Budinauckas. Craig Cranmer was booked for a crude foul on Gerry Britton in the sixth minute. Clyde almost took the lead three minutes later when Keogh's low shot from Andy Millen's cross was brilliantly pushed on to a post by Garry Gow. The same duo combined again for Keogh to head powerfully towards goal from Millen's free- kick after 21 minutes but Gow clawed the ball away.

At the interval Clyde brought on Bingham for Samuel Okikiolu and Paddy Kelly replaced Jamie Dolan for Jags. Britton brought out the best from Budinauckas with a 20-yard shot after 50 minutes before Keogh broke the deadlock when he nodded home Jack Ross's cross from right on the six-yard line. Thistle suffered more misery five minutes later when Hardie was shown a straight red for his violent attack on Bingham. Scott McLean and Jamie McKinstry came on for Walker and Richard Huxford as Jags boss John Lambie went for broke. Substitute McLean almost scrambled an equaliser after 78 minutes but his low shot was deflected just wide for a corner. Clyde sub Steve Convery hit the crossbar in injury time as the home side finished strongly to book their last-four spot.
