Queen of the South routed First Division bottom club Clyde, who are now perilously close to relegation.

Strikes by Stephen Dobbie, Stewart Kean and Steve Tosh put Queens 3-0 up before Willie McLaren's free-kick replied for Clyde before half-time.

Dobbie netted two minutes into the second half and Bob Harris' volley put the home side further ahead.

Two close-range efforts by Dobbie took the striker's tally to four as Clyde slipped four points adrift of Airdrie.
