There is disclosed a retaining clip for concealed securing of a profiled roofing sheet to an underlying support structure, the profiled roofing sheet including a plurality of ribs extending along the sheet in a longitudinal direction with each rib having a pair of inwardly angled portions on opposing side walls of the rib that each define a re entrant ledge on an inner surface thereof. The retaining clip includes a mounting member having a base by which the retaining clip is mountable to the underlying support structure, and a retaining portion located distal to the base; and two retaining members pivotably mounted at laterally opposing sides of the retaining portion, wherein each retaining member is configured to pivot arcuately at said retaining portion to engage an upwardly facing surface of a corresponding one of the pair of re-entrant ledges of a rib of the profiled roofing sheet, and remain substantively engaged with said re-entrant ledge surface in the event the rib flares under wind loading on the roofing sheet.
