Arbroath 3-1 Clyde

Former Dundee and Peterhead striker Bobby Linn hit a hat-trick for Arbroath as they swept aside Clyde in their Scottish League Two match.

He opened the scoring in the second minute, tucking away Simon Murray's pass from close range and drove into the top corner for his second.

Six minutes after the interval Linn completed his treble, finishing from Murray's pass into the six-yard area.

Keigan Parker hit a consolation for Clyde in stoppage time.
