Danny Lennon praised substitute Gregory Tade for helping inspire Clyde to the victory that ended their run of six games without a win.
The Bully Wee boss watched his side come from behind to beat East Fife 3-1 in a League One basement battle at Broadwood yesterday.
Kyle Connell fired the Fifers in front just shy of the hour mark, but Frenchman Tade's introduction from the bench for Ally Love moments later turned the game in Clyde's favour.
The former St Johnstone and Raith Rovers frontman was involved in teeing up David Goodwillie for the equaliser in the 67th minute, while some great footwork on the edge of the box sparked the move that saw Ross Cunningham put them in front just two minutes later.
Cunningham sealed the points in the 88th minute to put Clyde five points clear of the Methil Men at the foot of the table.
It was Clyde's first win since a 2-0 triumph over East Fife at Bayview in September and Lennon was impressed with their fighting spirit.
He said: "East Fife got their noses in front but, once again, we showed tremendous character to take the game to them and we really stepped the intensity up.
"Gregory came on and was influential. He had a big part to play in a couple of the goals so we are really pleased.
"It's been a wee while since we've had a win but, slowly but surely over the last couple of weeks, with the hard work that's been put in, we could see that was just around the corner.
"I'm delighted that we got a run at it and managed to send the fans home happy with three points.
"It [three points] has got to become a habit."
Clyde are in Scottish Cup action next weekend when they travel to West of Scotland League side Clydebank in a third round tie.
