Clyde star makes ambitious League One title statement as he claims Cove Rangers can be caught by Bully Wee

Cove Rangers might be 21 points ahead in the League One title race - but Clyde's Gregory Tade reckons the Bully Wee can't be counted out yet.

Danny Lennon's side have hit a streak of one league defeat in 11 games and it's lifted them to one point outside of the promotion play-off positions.

Tade scored the winner for Clyde in last weekend's 2-1 victory over Alloa Athletic, his first goal for the club, remarkably coming 4753 days after his first debut in 2009.

Now a match with struggling basement club East Fife awaits this weekend and Tade can't see reason as to why Cove - who have 50 points - can't be caught by Clyde on 29 after 23 games played.

He said: "For me, I have never been a guy who sets small goals. If we can never catch Cove, we can never catch Cove. But until it's mathematically done, that's where I am at.

"I play to win in every game. People who know me know this. The title is still there. Cove haven't won it yet. They are in a great place to win it and are favourites.

"But if I am still in it, I am in it to win it."

The 35-year-old had scored for every club he has represented apart from Clyde prior to Saturday's dramatic 88th minute winner.

He was pleased and Tade says his strike was a long time coming: "It was good to get it. I didn't expect it to be a winner but the boys played well.

"It was a very good performance and the team is on a good run of form. People know me as a striker but when I came to Clyde, I wasn't playing up front.

"I was playing in midfield, on the right, and on the left. I was never the guy who they were looking at to score the goals. I've made a couple assists but it's been a long time since my first debut!

"Clyde were the only team I hadn't scored for in my career, so I am happy. I try to do my part, which is why I have been brought to the club."
