Peter MacDonald headed Stirling in front after 11 minutes only for former Aberdeen striker David Goodwillie to level for Clyde shortly before half-time.

Moments after the restart, Mark Burbidge gave Clyde the lead after a long throw caused Albion havoc, but the hosts soon levelled through a Callumn Morrison header. A flash of quality from Goodwillie sealed the points though as his through ball set up Barry Cuddihy to net an 80th minute winner.
