Hamilton Accies "first class" with Clyde's transition to life at New Douglas Park, says Danny Lennon

Clyde boss Danny Lennon has hailed Hamilton Accies 'different class' for helping the club make a smooth transition to life at New Douglas Park.

The Bully Wee are groundsharing with the Championship side after they were booted out of Broadwood last season by North Lanarkshire Council amid the David Goodwillie furore.

It's not the first time to the two clubs have linked up, with Clyde also sharing with Hamilton at the old Douglas Park back in 1991-1994.

On Saturday Clyde picked up their first win and clean sheet at their new home with an impressive 2-0 win over Championship outfit Morton and Lennon says his side have got to grips with their new surroundings quickly.

"It's always nice to get that first win," he said.

"To have as big a turnaround as we've had this summer and the upheaval of coming into a new environment, it takes a bit of getting used to and gelling the team.

"But I must admit Hamilton have been different class and they have made that transitional period a pleasant one for us.

"We are settling in very nicely."

The result was also Clyde's first of the group stages following defeats to Hibs and Bonnyrigg Rose.

A trip to table topping Falkirk now awaits on Saturday.

Lennon added: "We've only got to look at ourselves and continue to improve on what was a very good performance against Morton.

"But are we satisfied with that? No, we are not.

"We will be demanding more from one another going forward."
