CLYDE 2 FORFAR ATHLETIC 0. In the bleak midwinter, there are rays of sunshine for Clyde. They were not offered on Saturday by the dark skies that spat a wicked rain, but by words and deeds. The latter came on the park as the Bully Wee won a crucial three points against fellow strugglers Forfar to move to the dizzying heights of eighth in League Two. The trapdoor to a lower league is thus that bit further away, at least for now.

The words came from club director Graeme Kelly. ‘I think the crowdfunder will likely be closed,’ he said pre-match, as fans gathered in the heart of the stadium for a pint. The fundraiser was launched to meet a monetary shortfall. It aimed to raise £55,000, with £47,000 donated by the time Kelly spoke. ‘The crowdfunder has been a success, but it looks as if we have a sponsor coming in after Christmas,’ he continued.

‘It is not quite signed yet, but we have really strong hopes of it going through. Things are looking a bit more secure. I would describe it as a fairly substantial amount to tide us over.’. Jordan Allan celebrates in front of the Clyde fans after hitting the opener.

Clyde director Graeme Kelly reported good news on the club's financial future. Martin Rennie takes the acclaim of his team-mates after scoring Clyde's second. There had been fears that Clyde could have been heading for administration and therefore an almost certain play-off to decide their league status. It looks as if that financial calamity and the subsequent impact on the points tally have been avoided.
