Clyde sack Brian McLean after nightmare start to season

Clyde have sacked head coach Brian McLean after a nightmare start to the season. The Bully Wee are second bottom of League Two with one win in 10 games and yesterday's 3-2 defeat at Bonnyrigg Rose, where Clyde had led 2-1 at half-time, has proved to be the final straw for the club heirarchy.

McLean has also overseen six defeats and three draws in the league, while they were on the end a first round exit in the SPFL Trust Trophy to Lowland League Stirling University.

The former club captain retired from playing at the end of last season, following the club's relegation from League One in the play-offs, and he was appointed boss in the summer when Jim Duffy stepped upstairs to become the club's director of football.

That move hasn't worked out for the Bully Wee, but the club have laid blame at the door of McLean, after announcing his departure this afternoon.
