Shiels (19) is part of the Ibrox club’s B team squad, but has already first-team experience of lower leagues after loan spells at Edinburgh City and Dumbarton.

The teenager, capped 10 times for Scotland under-19s, also spent time recently in the USA with Orange County.

Bully Wee boss Danny Lennon said: “Matthew is a young man with bags of potential to do well in football and he can continue his excellent progress with hard work and focused application at Clyde this season.

“We look forward to playing our part in his development as a quality left back.

“He has 10 caps at under-19 International level and, crucially, he has already had experience of first team football on loan.

“We want to thank Rangers for their co-operation and trust in loaning Matthew to Clyde.”
