How it happened: Clyde 2 East Fife 1
The Bully Wee went into the game in second bottom spot, two points behind Dumbarton who had played all their games.
Only a win would be enough for Danny Lennon’s side to avoid a perilous relegation play-off. Draw or lose and it’s off to Stranraer on Saturday for the semi-final first leg.
Here’s how events at Broadwood unfolded
