Clyde 5-3 Alloa Athletic (6-5)

Clyde's Chris Higgins celebrates a famous comeback

Pat Clarke fired an extra-time winner to complete a stunning fightback against Alloa that puts Clyde in the Division One play-off final.

Jimmy Gibson headed Clyde ahead, but Brown Ferguson's 35-yard drive and a Derek Fleming free-kick appeared likely to relegate the Cumbernauld side.

It was 3-1 when Dusan Bestvina failed to clear a Kyle McAuley effort.

But Gary Arbuckle fired home and headers from Willie Gibson and Gary McSwegan sent the tie into extra time.

The 6-5 aggregate win means Clyde visit Airdrie United, who defeated Raith Rovers, in Wednesday's first leg of their play-off final.

Rovers and Alloa remain in Division Two.
