Match Report


Clydebank Press


Tactical superiority by Celtic proved too great for the Clydebank side and they disappointingly lost two valuable points in the Combined Reserve League.

Both teams missed many chances in a no-scoring first half - Celtic being on target more often then the Bankies - but found goalkeeper Wilson in fine form.

The keeper was beaten however, seven minutes after the restart with the only goal of the game. It was from Celtic's most industrious attacker, McGowan, when he capped clever play by Sweeney: and Taylor with a well placed right foot drive.

It was the one occasion that Wilson, who was by far Clydebank's outstanding player and saved them from a larger defeat, was caught out. He saved brilliantly from Connelly and McGowan in the first half and time and time again a sound Clydebank defence foiled the Celtic schemers Sweeney, Taylor and Hay.
