That last Clyde visit was in the final game of the 1993-94 First Division season and that ended in a 5-0 win for the Pars. George O`Boyle netted four and Andy Tod the other. Dunfermline were already promoted and lowly Clyde were safe from relegation.
Clyde`s last win at East End Park was more than 33 years ago, 18 visits back on 16th March 1974. Their heaviest defeat was in 1964 when an Alex Ferguson hattrick sent the Bully Wee home on the end of a 7-2 drubbing.
