Ex-Celtic and Motherwell midfielder joins Clyde until end of the season

Clyde have confirmed the signing of former Celtic and Motherwell midfielder Michael McGlinchey.

The New Zealand international has now officially sealed a deal until the end of the season, with the 34-year-old joining the Bully Wee on their return to training this week.

McGlinchey started his career at Parkhead and spells at Dunfermline and Motherwell followed.

But he has played the majority of his career closer to home, playing for Central Coast Mariners in Australia and Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand.

Capped more than 50 times for his country, McGlinchey had a spell at League Two Queen's Park last summer and now moves to League One with Clyde.

Boss Danny Lennon told the Clyde website: "We're delighted to be able to add someone with the wealth of experience that Michael has, including over 50 caps at international level.

"That should buffer really well with the younger players that we have in the group.

"He's a very technical player with a good football brain and I'm really excited to be able to work with someone of his calibre."

Last week the suspension of lower league football in Leagues One and Two were lifted and Clyde are back in training ahead of a return to matches on March 20.
