Clyde fans make their votes count with surprise League One team of the season

Clyde fans have voted in their droves to make sure their heroes made the SPFL League One Team of the Season.

The final 11 has taken some football fans by surprise, as no-one from Raith Rovers' title-winning squad, runners-up Falkirk or third-place Airdrieonians featured in the line-up.

In fact, seven of the 11 players to make it come from teams who finished in the bottom four.

Fans voted over the course of the week and it seems the Broadwood faithful, in particular, made their votes count with the most players from a single club featuring.

Star striker David Goodwillie was one of the two forwards to make the team after finishing as the league's top scorer with 20 goals, one more than Falkirk's Declan McManus.

He claimed 43 per cent of the vote for striker, while Ray Grant (31 per cent) made it into the midfield, Martin McNiff (28 per cent) was selected in the back four and David Mitchell (45 per cent) claimed the goalkeeping spot.

Clyde finished seventh in League One under manager Danny Lennon. The division was decided on average points in May, due to the Covid-19 shutdown.

Montrose striker Blair Lyons, who netted 10 league goals, was the only star from a top-four team to make the final cut.

Stranraer, who were relegated, had two players make the team, with defender Jordan Allan and midfielder James Hilton selected.
