Match Report


Sunday Mail

Queen's Park will want to forget this game. Apart from losing both points, they had substitute Eddie Hunter taken to hospital with a suspected broken wrist.

Clydebank capped clever leading-up work with goals for their first success of the season.

Both their first-half goals were beauties. Munro got the first with a cracking drive and Hawkshaw followed up with a jet-propelled volley that gave Taylor no chance.

Queen's hit back in the second half and Campbell scored. Hunter substituted for Carmichael but had to go off 13 minutes later with his wrist heavily bandaged. A minute later. Gray came on for Rutherford in the Clydebank attack.

Hawkshaw got a third. but Queen's kept battling away Malone revived them by scrambling the ball over the line. but Munro who was booked for a foul in the first half. ended any hopes they had with a fourth goal for Clydebank.



Evening Times

It was all Queen's in the opening stages and only a save by Madden from a McLaughlin volley prevented a score.

Malone should have found the net when clean through, but once again Madden proved Bankies hero when he blocked the inside-left's shot.

Queen's continued to dominate and Collumbine almost gave away an own goal when the ball sliced off his foot for a fruitless corner.

Hay had a chance but his elevation was out and the ball soared over, Then Murray scorned a gilt-edged opportunity when he failed to beat the outrushing Madden who did well to save.

In a breakaway Bankies came close when Hawkshaw forced Taylor to push the ball over for a corner.

After all their pressure Queen's found themselves a goal down after 21 minutes. A long ball through the middle found a gap in the home defence and Munro ran on to score with a drive from 14 yards. All against run of play, but a good goal just the same.

Two minutes later a further shock for Queen's when Hawkshaw cleverly piloted the ball past Taylor for a second Clydebank goal.

Queens made a determined effort to get back in the game, and the visiting goal came under a barrage of shots but survived. Clydebank had the ball in the net again but the referee gave off-side

The Queen's defence were being caught on a wrong foot too often in visiting raids.

Queens continued to make the openings, but their finishing left much to be desired.

Just on the interval Madden was at full stretch turning out a swerving Campbell corner which was heading for the net.

Queen's immediately set off for the visitors' goal, but for all their efforts only managed to gain a corner which brought no danger to Madden.

Then Carmichael had a good run down the centre, but his finishing shot lacked power.

In the 53rd minute I. Campbell finished a neat Queen's move by blasting the ball home from eight yards.

Eight minutes from time Hawkshaw scored a third for Clydebank. Three. minutes later Malone managed to scramble the ball over the line for Queen's and immediately after Munro brought Clydebank's tally to four.
