Three years later, he helped Clyde to make the step up to League One through the playoffs.

In between those two successes, Ally was also part of the Brechin City squad promoted to the Championship in 2017.

Seven goals in 35 games was his return for Clyde last season before he left the club after four and a half seasons there.

Ally then joined Dumbarton as part of a busy weekend of transfer activity.
