Darren Young hailed a ‘belter’ of a finish from Liam Scullion as he savoured his first win as Clyde boss.

The Bully Wee are up and running under their new gaffer after an impressive 3-1 over then league leaders East Fife at New Douglas Park.

A brace from Jordan Allan and a rocket of a strike from Cambuslang man Scullion did the damage before Scott Shepherd scored a consolation in stoppage time for the visitors.

And Young, whose side now travel to new League Two leaders Elgin City this Saturday, said: “I’m delighted to get the first win under the belt and I felt it was well deserved.

“We could have scored more and I thought we defended brilliantly.

“Both full-backs and centre-halves were outstanding and that gave us that solid foundation that allowed us to push up the park and squeeze the game.

“Off the back of that, we create chances and score some good goals – with the third one from Liam and absolute belter. I don’t think he’ll hit one as good all season.

“You could see the lift we got when we got the second goal and that put us in a really good position for the rest of the game.

“It was a great performance all round. The only disappointing thing was not getting the clean sheet.

“We’ve got the ball up in the corner at the end of the game but they counter us and get a goal. But we’ll take the three points and that was the main thing.”

On their trip to Elgin, who have lost once in 13 games so far, Young added: “We won’t rest on our laurels, get too excited or ahead of ourselves.

“It is a good three points but that is all it is. We want to build on that.

“The players have set their standard and shown how they can perform, it is now a case of taking it up there.

“We played Elgin a couple of weeks ago and gave a good account of ourselves.

“East Fife were top of the league and now we are playing another team who are top, so there’s not much between all the teams.”
