Match Report

Montrose Review

The match between Montrose and Clydebank was much livelier than recent encounters and the 1-1 result was about right although the visitors' equaliser did not come until the 88th minute.

Clydebank brought quite a few supporters with them, one of whom sounded a trumpet call from time to time. This and rhythmic shouting of 'Bankies' to a well organised hand clap helped to create atmosphere and that, perhaps, had something to do with there being a bit more life about the game. Some more of this from the Montrose crowd might do the world of good instead of critical calls and the fail-me-never advice to the whistler - "Come on ref.- open yer e'en".

There was no scoring in the first half but play moved quickly and at no time was it dull. Both goalkeepers were often in action but not as much as they should have been. Time and again excellent moves ended up with the ball being sent along to goalmouth and then to touch. This finishing applied to both teams.

The Clydebank defence was sound and did not give much away but it was caught on the hop in the 78th minute when Falconer scored for Montrose. Goalkeeper McLaughlan had dealt with a shot by Kemp but did not get the ball away and while defenders ran in to assist the home centre got it home.

The last 15 minutes saw a build up of excitement. It looked as though Montrose might increase their lead but, instead, they had to concede a point. Two minutes from time Joe Rankine, who had played an impressive game at inside right, scored from short range when there were a lot of players in the goalmouth.

In the Montrose team Strathdee gave the best all-round display. He defended well and was only occasionally beaten by his opponent. Better still he continuously worked the ball upfield and his placing was effective.

The half line was steady without being spectacular. In attack Jimmy Kemp played his best home game for some time and Falconer led the line well. Dickson is best when trying a first-timer and although he did not score he came near the target on several occasions.

In Clydebank team McLaughlan was good in goal and had a pair of steady backs before him. Russell led the aggressively and got most support from Joe Rankine.

Aberdeen Evening Express

Despite an injury at work, Ian Dickson was fit to turn out in an unchanged Montrose team. For Clydebank Tony Moy took over from Eddie Jenkins who was down with flu.

The first danger for Clydebank came from a Collumbine pass-back which MacLachlan just managed to save.

Thomson was next on target, but when MacLachlan dropped his shot there was no Montrose player near to take advantage.

Kemp and Thomson missed chances when they were beaten by the bouncing ball. Next Jamieson grabbed a hard shot from McGhee under the bar.

The Montrose forwards were having a hard today. Dickson was left unguarded but promptly slammed his shot over the bar. Then, MacLachlan brought off a great save from Falconer.

MacLachlan opened the second half with a fine save from Doull, who gave the keeper much time. A Russell shot after a poor Thomson clearance just cleared the upright.

McNiven spoiled clever work when he shot well wide.

Cummings shot was deflected on to the post by Jamieson - the nearest to a goal yet.

A Thomson free after McNiven was fouled was easily cleared.

Montrose got the breaks in 78 minutes when Mitchells clearance bounced off a colleague to Falconer who head home.

Clydebank threw everything into attack and Joe Rankin's last gasp equaliser was well deserved.
