What solution for replacing clay gully?

Foul and surface water, private drains and public sewers, land drains and soakaways, filter drains and any other ways of getting rid of water.

I have just removed an old clay gully due to it being cracked and so it was leaking (pic below):

Now trying to work out how I can connect back up to the remaining clay connection, as I don't want to replace the whole length of drain. I had been planning to use one of those McAlpine connections with the fins which fits fine, but the problem is the clay drain coming out of the drain is at an angle.

Anyone have any advice of a suitable connection so that I can connect up to a new plastic gully? It is pretty tight, are there any flexible connections available that would work? Pic below of what I am trying to connect up, although the picture doesn't really show the angle of the drain.

You'll need a 45 bend a short length of 110 pipe and a clay to plastic adaptor. Should be able to get one from any builders merchant. Be careful cutting the existing pipe they are very brittle.
