Clyde 3 – 2 Edinburgh City | Scottish League Two

Clyde edged a dramatic and entertaining Scottish League Two clash on 5 September 2026, beating Edinburgh City 3-2 in a five-goal thriller. The hosts showed character on multiple occasions, including when they had to fight back after conceding, and ultimately had enough quality in the final third to secure all three points.

A lively start in the Scottish League Two clash

Clyde made an energetic start and looked to test the Edinburgh City back line with early pressure. Their efforts were rewarded in the 11th minute when Liam McFadden found space inside the box and swept a low finish beyond the visiting goalkeeper. It was the kind of early breakthrough that should have settled the home nerves.

Edinburgh City, however, were not discouraged. They gradually grew into the match and equalised midway through the half through Jamie Connolly, whose curling effort from just outside the area gave the Clyde goalkeeper no chance.

Edinburgh City fight back before late drama

Just when it seemed the match would be level at the interval, Clyde regained the lead in first-half stoppage time. A rebound fell kindly for striker Callum Smith, who made no mistake from close range to send his side into the break ahead.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Edinburgh City refused to go away and pulled level once more when Cameron Reid produced a fine finish from the edge of the penalty area. Suddenly, the visitors had momentum and looked the more likely winners.

Clyde find the decisive moment

With the match seemingly destined to end level, Clyde found a late spark. Substitute Dylan Ross proved to be the hero, arriving in the box late in the 84th minute to meet a cross and steer the ball into the net. It was a dramatic finish that sent the home supporters into celebration and gave Clyde all three points.

A valuable Scottish League Two result

The victory is an important one for Clyde as they continue to build momentum in League Two. Their ability to score three goals and respond positively after being pegged back will be a source of encouragement. For Edinburgh City, the defeat will be difficult to take after two spirited comebacks, but the attacking display offers something to build on as the season progresses.
