Clyde secured an aggregate win over East Fife in extra time to reach the Scottish League 1 play-off final, where they will likely face Annan Athletic.

Trailing 1-0 from Tuesday's first leg, East Fife drew level on aggregate with Scott Shepherd cute finish early on.

The forward was later sent off after receiving a second booking.

And Martin Rennie, who netted relegation threatened Clyde's winner on Tuesday, scored in the 107th minute to give the home side a 2-1 win.

The striker finished from close range after on-loan Kilmarnock left-back Jon Craig's fine strike was pushed on to the inside of the front post by goalkeeper Allan Fleming.

It means East Fife, who had been the better side until the sending off, spend a second season in League 2, where they finished fourth.

Clyde, who finished second bottom of League 1, get the chance to extend their four-year stay in the third tier when they face the winners of Saturday's semi-final second leg, with hosts Annan leading Dumbarton 6-0 from the first leg.
