St Mirren loanee hails Clyde's form as he discusses "angry finish" in Airdrie draw

Lewis Jamieson reckons Clyde's current form is incredible after his thumping volley earned a derby day draw at Airdrie.

And the St Mirren loanee admits his first goal for the Bully Wee was full of pent-up frustration as he finally got off the mark.

Clyde have lost just twice in their last 15 outings in League One and that has helped them move six points clear of the relegation zone in sixth place and within four points of the promotion play-offs.

So Jamieson was pleased to help his side claim a bit of a scalp by taking a point off of title-chasing Airdrie.

He said: "We'll take the point. We are happy with it because this is a difficult place to come. Airdrie are obviously higher up in the table than us.

"But we've only lost two games in 15 and in a league like this that is incredible. There's maybe not as many wins in there as we'd want but we take each point away from the drop as we can.

"We've got a great changing room. A few arrivals came in in January like myself and Nick McAllister and gelled really well.

"I think you can tell that with the performances we've been putting in. First half we were brilliant and controlled the game. We played exactly the way the gaffer wanted us to and I think that showed.

"In the second half Airdrie were more in control so I think a point is probably a fair result."

Jamieson has made five appearances for Clyde since his loan move in January, having spent the first part of the season in the Championship at Inverness.

In that short time he managed to pick up a suspension after a red card against Dumbarton last month, so the venom in his unstoppable first half strike was a bit of a relief for the striker, who also spurned a big chance to win the game in the second when he fired wide inside the six-yard box.

He added: "It's been a few frustrating weeks here since coming down from Inverness.

"I've been eager to get that first goal and maybe too eager at times.

"Some of the lads were saying it was a bit of an angry finish but I'm happy to get on the scoresheet and back to picking up points.

"I set myself the target of getting a good few goals and assists when I came here - and mainly to help the team stay up. We are doing that at the moment and we just need to keep going.

"I had two other chances. The header off the bar in the first half I should be doing better with, given the standards I set myself, and the second one the defender actually kicks it off me so I've not got any input in where it goes."

Clyde welcome fifth-place Falkirk to Broadwood on Saturday in a huge clash for their promotion play-off hopes, but Jamieson insists that is far from the club's focus right now.

He added: "We've got a big game with Falkirk now but I think we are always looking behind and making sure we are clear of the bottom.

"If we do enough eventually to stay up then we can look up the table.

"I think getting clear is the main thing right now."
