How it happened: Clyde 2 East Fife 1
The Bully Wee went into the game in second bottom spot, two points behind Dumbarton who had played all their games.
Only a win would be enough for Danny Lennon’s side to avoid a perilous relegation play-off. Draw or lose and it’s off to Stranraer on Saturday for the semi-final first leg.

49: GOAL EAST FIFE
Scott Rumsby is penalised - and yellow carded - for a challenge on Dunlop inside the box and Scott Agnew sends David Mitchell the wrong way from the spot
52: Fifers revived
East Fife have shown more in the first few minutes of the second half than they did for the entire first period. Clyde have to dig in here
58: Off the line
Brown powers in a header from Agnew's corner but Mark Lamont is there to boot it off the line
69: Clyde changes
Double switch from Danny Lennon - Jamieson and McGlinchey on for Robertson and Lamont
72: Clyde chance
Bit more encouragement for Clyde as Jamieson sends a shot just wide from the edge of the box with Hart scrambling to reach it
75: Nervy Clyde
Clyde understandably looking edgy, lacking the fluency they had the first half. But they need a goal - big 15 minutes coming up
77: Awwwwww
Lovely move puts Bain in space inside the box with time to pick out a team-mate - but he blasts his cross miles beyond the far post. Chance wasted
82: GOAL CLYDE
Hart pulls off a fine save to keep out Jack’s strike but the ball is played back into the middle and Goodwillie is there to head home
