Red Lichties close in on title
Arbroath saw off Clyde for the second time in four days, triumphing 2-0 over the bottom club to move within touching distance of automatic promotion from the Scottish Third Division.
The leaders registered a 3-0 victory away from home on Saturday and followed that up at Gayfield to claim back-to-back scalps, which means they could potentially seal top spot on Saturday should they see off Queen`s Park and other results go their way.
Although Arbroath`s promotion now looks likely in any case should it not be clinched this weekend, with the high-flying club seven points clear of second-placed Annan with only 12 left to play for.
Clyde, meanwhile, remain at the foot of the standings, six points adrift of East Stirling but still with a game in hand.
The home side took the lead in the 25th minute when Steven Doris connected with Gavin Swankie`s cross from the right to convert from 12 yards.
Swankie then made it 2-0 himself just before half-time, receiving a pass from Paul Sheerin before finding the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.
Kieran McAnespie missed the chance to add a third after the break, wasting two close-range headers.
