Clyde 0 Forfar 0: Bully Wee boss says side must pose more threat up front, as key man sidelined
Darren Young watched his side fail to penetrate the Forfar backline in Saturday's stalemate Clyde boss Darren Young voiced his frustration after drawing 0-0 at home to Forfar, but admitted his side need to pose more of a threat up front. Young was happy to get Clyde's first point on the board in League Two, leaving them seventh in the table, but there were precious few chances at the Hamilton Community Stadium. Andy Murdoch had a shot cleared off the line from James Hilton's corner in 29 minutes, and Hilton blazed over in 74 minutes. Clyde's best chance came in the last minute, as Kyle Connell's shot was well saved by Marc McCallum. Young said: 'It's two points dropped, but we take the positives, the clean sheet and the point on the board, so we're off and running. 'In the first half we totally controlled the game, we had most of the possession without having too many clear-cut opportunities. 'The chances we did get to the wide areas or set pieces were poor, poor deliveries, poor final ball. 'The guys know themselves that we were lacking that wee bit of quality in the final third, and we know it's there, it's just getting it out there on the park on a Saturday. 'We've shown it in the League Cup section against teams in the Championship, Premiership and League One, so there's no reason for us now to be playing in the league and it's not happening. 'The positives are that we are creating chances, but we should be doing better, and putting ourselves in on one v one situations. I know our guys are better than that, and have better quality than that, anad it's frustrating.' The Bully Wee welcome Celtic B in the KDM Evolution trophy tonight and they host Spartans in the league on Saturday. Meanwhile, Cambuslang ace Liam Scullion has been ruled out of action at Clyde this week after undergoing hip surgery. The 23-year-old had been scheduled to have an operation in 2026 and play on for the Bully Wee this season, however a cancellation slot became available for the winger to have surgery earlier this month and he will now be out for the foreseeable future. Clyde told fans in a statement that 'the exact length of his recovery will be determined in consultation with his surgeon and the Clyde medical team.' Scullion had started the season strongly with two goals in the first five games of the 2025/26 campaign. Bully Wee boss Darren Young is disappointed to lose such a key player so early into the season, but knows it was in the player's best interest to have the work done now. Young said: 'We all want to wish Liam the very best in his recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch when he's ready. 'It's disappointing to lose him, especially as he's started the season in such good form, but this was the best decision for him personally.' The club statement continued: 'Everyone at the club echoes Darren's sentiments and sends Liam our best wishes for a smooth recovery. 'We look forward to seeing him back in action as soon as possible.' The news comes after goalkeeper Brian Kinnear returned to action in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Forfar, following a rib injury against Peterhead last month.
