Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Elgin City & Clyde face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Challenge Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
3 - 4 - 10 with 13-28. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Clyde when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Clyde play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
