Clyde F.C. season 2005-06

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In season 2005-06, Clyde competed in their sixth consecutive season in the Scottish First Division. Graham Roberts was appointed as new manager, after Billy Reid left to join Hamilton Academical. Roberts appoineted ex-Celtic player Joe Miller as his assistant, and brought a new side to Clyde, with his young signings, and the oldest player in the squad being 24. This led to the team being known for their high-tempo style.

Clyde finished fifth in the Scottish First Division. They went out of the Scottish League Cup in the third round the Scottish Cup in the fourth round and the Scottish Challenge Cup in the first round.

It was a season to enjoy for the fans, as they watched their team take the lead against Rangers at Ibrox in the Scottish League Cup, though they were eventually defeated after extra-time. They beat Celtic 2-1 in the Scottish Cup, which was the club's biggest victory for years.
