“We create so many chances in games and we just don’t take them. We could have put this one to bed in the opening 20 minutes. We could have relaxed after that.

“Instead, when Callumn Morrison scored, we probably did that while it was only 1-0. We probably took our foot off the gas and thought ‘this will be easy now’ and that sort of thing.

“No game is ever like that and teams don’t just give up and sit off you. Especially with Clyde having a new manager just in the door. We ended up chasing the game which wasn’t nice. There is nothing worse than going into the dressing room at half time when you are losing.

“The second half start was perfect and we got a point but that isn’t good enough.”
