Match Report
Clydebank emerged victorious from an eventful contest after seeing a two-goal lead wiped out before eventually securing the points.
The home side controlled much of the first half and looked comfortably on course for victory as they established a two-goal advantage before the interval. Their superiority was evident from the opening stages and they took the lead after 12 minutes when Jimmy Hodgson's overhead lob found Bill Horn, who made no mistake from close range.
One incident shortly before half-time drew the attention of the crowd when Horn was booked by referee Marshall.
The visitors were handed a golden opportunity to draw level after 25 minutes when they were awarded a penalty following a foul on Campbell. McKay took the kick, but Ronnie Wilson produced an excellent save to preserve Clydebank's lead and earned a warm reception from the home support.
Wilson continued to frustrate the visitors as Clydebank defended resolutely, and shortly before the interval the Bankies doubled their advantage. Hodgson finished from close range after a swift attacking move to send the home side into half-time with a comfortable cushion.
The match changed dramatically after the restart. Within eight minutes the visitors had erased Clydebank's lead. Hunter pulled a goal back after 52 minutes when he reacted quickest to a loose ball in the penalty area, and only a minute later Roddie levelled the scores from close range.
Clydebank responded positively and soon regained the lead. Andy O'Brien, one of the liveliest performers on the park, met a cross from Joe Rankin and finished decisively beyond Donaldson.
The visitors were not finished, however, and Campbell brought them level once more with a close-range effort that completed a remarkable spell of scoring.
The decisive moment arrived in the 74th minute. Hodgson's effort appeared to be travelling away from goal, but defender Munro attempted a clearance and succeeded only in diverting the ball into his own net.
There were no further goals and Clydebank held on to secure victory after a match which had seemed firmly under their control before the visitors' spirited second-half fightback threatened to turn the game on its head.
