Clyde meet Livingston tonight after Saturday's original Scottish Cup tie was abandoned after 29 minutes due to heavy fog. With John Brown leaving the club managerless, John McCormack and director of football Neil Watt will be in charge for the game and the pair have a full squad available for the rearranged game. McCormack will be in charge until the end of the season at least. McCormack was was appointed first-team coach at Broadwood Stadium in September but has stepped up following the departure of Brown. Watt said "John provides us with the necessary experience that the players require at this stage in the season." The prize for the winners is known after yesterday's draw for the fourth round matched them with Dundee. Watt said: "It is very much as we were both in terms of the team on the pitch and off it. We know a bit more about Livingston now and that cannot be a bad thing."
Livingston will be able to welcome back Italian striker Raffele de Vita to the squad for the game. He was posted missing on Saturday but he could now have to oust Andrew Halliday from the team to start. This could mean that a place on the bench is probably the best the front-man, who scored twice against Queen's Park in the last round, can look forward too. Almondvale boss Gary Bollan said: "Raffele was not included on Saturday, although he could make this game. We know now that we have Dundee waiting in the next round and that is a huge carrot for us to build on what we started doing on Saturday."
