Not much to warm the heart here, although below form Albion were worthy winners.
Clydebank's enthusiastic youngsters at times made Albion look slow and cumbersome. But although their midfield work was nice to watch, they player the ball too close to trouble the Albion defence, in which sweeper Thomson emerged as the man of the match.
Albion's linkmen had an off-day. Henderson was replaced by Stewart at half time, but there was no noticeable improvement.
Up front, the forwards lacked the necessary ideas to penetrate the visitors defence, where Ruddy successfully policed Albion's danger man Hughes.
However, the centre managed to grab Albion's first half lead. And the points were secured by McKinnon, who blasted home a free kick after keeper Madden had carried the ball outside the 18 yard area.
Albion's best were Thomson, McKinnon, Peebles and Hughes - Ruddy, Hay, Hawkshaw and Woods stood out for the visitors.
