Why won't my Renault Clio start?

I have a 2006 Renault Clio. The immobiliser light is constantly flashing and when I turn the ignition it won't turn over. Instead it makes a clicking noise. Any idea what could be wrong?

The clicking is the starter motor relay and it's probably not getting enough current because the battery is failing.
