Match Report
Two great goals from young Jimmy Caskie were the bright spots in an otherwise lack-lustre match. His first was a low shot blasted under the Albion trialist keeper from the edge of the penalty area.
Eight minutes later a joint effort by Hawkshaw and Munro allowed Caskie a second chance. Gaining the ball inside the penalty area Munro passed on to Caskie who sent it home from eight yards.
Albion Rovers tried hard to get a grip on the match. They played quite well midfield and indeed had Clydebank in trouble for a good deal of the second half. Unfortunately, this skill did not extend to nearer the Clydebank goal.
Perhaps Albion's greatest mistake was allowing centre-forward Rogerson to fall into defence when outside-left Junior had to leave the field with a leg injury.
