TWO fluke goals saw relegation strugglers Clyde and Morton share the points, a result which did neither of them any favours in their survival quest.
Morton took the lead at rain-lashed Broadwood after 26 minutes when Jim McAlister caused chaos with a wind assisted corner from the left which spun off the head of luckless Clyde defender Neil McGregor into his own net.

However, John Brown's side levelled in bizarre circumstances when Ryan Harding's clearance was charged down by Pat Clarke, the ball spun up and took a wicked bounce over goalkeeper Lee Robinson. Clarke followed up to tap home.
