Clyde 1, Stranraer 0: Jordan Allan is the hero as Clyde grab vital lifeline

Jordan Allan changed his boots and altered Clyde's fortunes, as he headed in a vital winner over Stranraer that breathes new life into their League Two survival hopes.

Allan nodded the ball over keeper Lewis Budinauckas inside stoppage time to take them off the foot of the table for the first time since September.

The Bully Wee deserved the three points following an utterly dominant second half.

Clyde's Jordan Allan - who changed his boots just after the hour - and Dylan Forrest of Stranraer hit the side-netting during a pretty even first half.

Scott Robertson sent a shot over for the visitors and Martin Rennie forced a save from Lewis Budinauckas, but it was a very even first half.

The second half was much better pretty much from the start, with Stranraer's James Dolan seeing a shot blocked.

Clyde then saw Ross Lyon and Jordan Allan have shots saved, while Liam Scullion and Barry Cuddihy were just off-target, early in the second half.

Sub Robbie Leitch then saw a shot slapped into the air by keeper Lewis Budinauckas before being hacked off the line.

But Clyde popped up when it mattered with a crucial winner.

Clyde boss Ian McCall made two changes to the side that lost 4-1 at Peterhead last weekend. Ross Lyon and Ray Grant came in for Erik Sula and Chris McGinn, who dropped down to the bench.

His Stranraer counterpart Scott Agnew also made two changes to his side, which drew 1-1 at home to drop rivals Bonnyrigg Rose, with James Dolan and Sean McIntosh coming in for Dean Hawkshaw and Ben Armour.

Clyde had the first chance of the game in 11 minutes when Allan did well to beat the offside trap as he was sent through on goal from great ball by Cuddihy, but he could only find the right side-netting.
