Eight minutes in a Sean Higgins shot from the edge of the 18-yard box just missed the post in the best chance of the half for Clyde.
Higgins had an opportunity to find the net again around the half hour mark though his 30-yard shot just skimmed over the bar. David Marsh was also unlucky to see his header from a Mitchell cross fail to hit the target.

Gibson redeemed himself late in the half to save two strong chances for the visitors. Queen’s Park sub John Carter posed a threat 77 minutes in but was denied a chance in a one-on-one with the Clyde keeper. Gibson did well again 88 minutes in to save a curled effort from Woods.
Gormley pulled back a couple of chances for Clyde in the closing gasps of the game but failed to hit the target on both occasions.
