Three coaches were sent off during an ill-tempered match at Broadwood as Clyde and Dundee battled out a 1-1 draw in the Irn-Bru First Division.Dees boss Alex Rae is already serving a six-game ban and he was joined in the stand by his assistant Davie Farrell and caretaker Clyde coaches Dougie Bell and Gary Bollan.

Rae was less than impressed by referee Steve Conroy's performance.

"Some of the referee's decision were strange," he said.

"I don't think there was much in the incident when Davie was sent off.

"It's going to get to the stage where there is a row of coaches sitting up there every game."

Clyde manager Colin Hendry quit on Friday night for family reasons but Bell has no intention of sending his CV to Bully Wee bosses.

"I'm not interested in the job because I have a full-time job away from Clyde. But I'd like to stay on as first team coach. The boys applied themselves well and were unlucky not to win."

Clyde took the lead through Gary Arbuckle but were denied the win by Milan Palenik's equaliser.

In the Second Division, bottom side Berwick Rangers were subjected to a 9-2 thrashing at the hands of Peterhead.

Neale Cooper was in charge for the first time since Steve Paterson's departure and said: "It was frightening. It was great to watch and I've got to thank the players.

"Although we won't get many results like that, the boys have set a standard in terms of display and shown the quality is there."

Stuart McKay helped himself to a hat-trick as the Highlanders ran riot.

Berwick manager Michael Renwick said: "That was simply embarrassing and the display was totally unacceptable."

East Fife surged 18 points clear at the top of the Third Division with a 3-0 win over bottom side Forfar.

Bobby Linn, Kevin Davidson and Kevin Fotheringham helped themselves to a goal apiece for the Fifers.

Boss Dave Baikie said: "We are trying to put a team together not just to try to win the title but with one eye on next season too."
