Match Report

Clydebank Press

Clydebank were turfed out of the cup by a vastly-different looking United team from that we saw at Kilbowie at the weekend.

Here was a Dundee side bubbling with confidence - especially from the 26th minute, when Alan Gordon "took off" yet again to head home between two defenders, with Mick McDonald stranded.

The cross came from Davy Wilson, and must have been one of the dozens of times Gordon and Ian Reid - United's own "air force" flew through the air, leaving Bankies' defence helpless.

The players came out for the second half - and for Clydebank, it was also to two minutes of joy, then tragedy, that was to come.

In the 47th minute, Mike Jackson swung a corner into the Tannadice goal-mouth. Jimmy Caskie was nicely positioned at the near post, and flicked the ball on to Alan Munro. The big inside-man sent a powerful header raging into the net.

But in the 49th minute came the body-blow that rocked Clydebank. Ball-playing Alex Reid took a pass in midfield, ran to the right then cut into the middle again before unleashing a drive from 20 yards. McDonald had no chance-and United were in front again.

From here on, the First Division team went through a repertoire of skills, as Clydebank worked hard to come back.

But United's "flyers" were still rising inches above the defence, and more goals came from Wilson (as Bankies appealed for off-side); Jim Henry, who beat three defenders before leaving McDonald standing with a shot from the penalty spot; and the winger joined his inside-mates in leaping to head home for the fifth.

In between the goals, there were some wild Bankies clearances and United hit the woodwork once, as well as having several near misses.

A disappointed Jack Steedman. Bankies manager, said after the game: "That second goal really did it, after we had pulled one back."
