Frances banned for Clyde

Defender Ryan Frances is suspended for Clyde's clash with Arbroath.

Barry Ferguson's side went down 1-0 to East Stirling last weekend but he reckons they can bounce back quickly.

"We didn't do a great deal wrong apart from fail to score when we were dominating, so we can move on from it quickly," Ferguson said.

"It will be tough against Arbroath but all the games in this league are like that. Any team can beat any team so we have to ensure that we are at our best."

The deposed leaders will miss Jordan Lowdon (thigh strain) and Jack Smith (dislocated elbow) as they look to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season.

Assistant manager Todd Lumsden said: "We lost a bad goal just after half-time and our reaction to that wasn't great and we lost another one as a result.

"We finished the game really strongly but you can't play at your best for 20 minutes and expect to win a game.

"Clyde will be looking to bounce back after losing last week as well so we need to be at our best to succeed."
