Bully Wee keeper Jamie Barclay had to react quickly to prevent Rodgers scoring again, and the score remained the same at half-time.
After the interval Stefan McCluskey and Kevin Watt were brought on in a bid to increase Clyde’s attacking options.
McCluskey came close to pulling one back for the visitors but his shot was well saved by Graeme Smith.
