A Mackay cross hit in hope goes out of play.
Bannigan's ball into the box drifts out for a goal kick. That will be that.
Into added time.
Kinnear saves but can't hold Fitzpatrick's shot. The ball though squirms away from Graham.
Turner again finds Ashcroft with the corner and again Ashcroft's header goes wide.
It doesn't look as if Thistle will get even a single point never mind all three. Rennie does well to cross and Dunachie powers a header into the net.
Thistle really need the three points tonight and time is running out. Clyde in no hurry to take this goal kick.
A Fitzpatrick header goes wide. Decent enough header but not really threatening the Clyde goal.
Thistle are a little exposed and the ball is worked to Docherty at the edge of the box but he lifts his shot over the bar.
Turner's pass goes just the wrong side of Graham.
Wasiri overhits a cross with players in the box.
McCready gets his body behind the ball to save from Connolly.
It's a poor free kick from Turner in any case and Kinnear collects.
Robinson is fouled just as he looks like getting clear. Thistle have a free kick but Clyde get the chance to get men behind the ball.
Turner does well to find McBeth with the free kick but his effort to get the ball across goal is tame and goes out for a goal kick.
Graham is fouled near the halfway line and Thistle have a free kick and a chance to get the ball forward into the Clyde box.
Kinnear gets down to make a comfortable save from Ashcroft's header.
Thistle break from the Clycde corner. Mackay has pace to burn and hew finds Fitzpatrick to his left. His cross looks set to be converted to give Thistle the lead only for a last ditch clearance

Another great save from Kinnear this time to deny McBeth.

Crowd: 2,848
Graham isn't far away from connecting with a Fitzpatrick cross.

Back underway. No changes from Thistle at the break.
A first half to forget as Thistle fail to build on an early lead.
A crazy own goal gets Clyde level, Thistle keeper David Mitchell to injury in the process, before Dunachie fires the visitors into the lead.
To say it needs to improve in the second half is a massive understatement.
The free kick is cleared. Chalmers picks the ball up but his low drive is blocked by a defender.
Graham is pulled back and Thistle have a free kick wide on the left.
Into first half-time injury time. Should be a good few minutes of that following Mitchell's injury.

Mitchell is down again. Looks as if a change is coming.
Mitchell looks okay to continue.
Mitchell is still down injured. Anxious moments for Thistle.
It's a crazy goal to lose. Ashcroft's pass back is far too strong. Mitchell immediately looks in trouble and he can't keep the ball out and injures himself in the process.
Chalmers has the ball inside the Clyde box on the right. He pulls the ball onto his left foot and tries to bend a shot into the far corner but doesn't get enough curl on the ball and it goes out for a goal kick.
Although Cuddihy's corner comes to nothing this is a decent wee spell for Clyde who are playing more of the game inside the Thistle half.
There is a hint of a chance for Clyde as a cross comes over from the right. Mitchell doesn't collect but the referee spots a foul on Muirhead and Thistle have a free kick.
