Season 2007–08 was Clyde's eighth consecutive season in the Scottish First Division. Former Scotland captain Colin Hendry was appointed manager in June 2007, replacing Joe Miller. Hendry resigned in January 2008, and was replaced by John Brown. The club finished 9th in the division by 1 goal, and were confined to the playoffs. They staged an impressive 6–5 aggregate victory over Alloa Athletic in the Semi Final, coming from 5–2 down with 25 minutes left. They defeated Airdrie United 3–0 over two legs to regain their status as a First Division team.
