Match Report


The brisk little Clydebank team gave Motherwell a fright on last night's floodlit friendly at Kilbowie Park

Right from the start Clydebank shocked their opponents with smooth, acute raids and accurate shooting - they hit two goals - and in fact on several occasions left Motherwell's defence bewildered. But they faded in the second-half when Motherwell put on the pressure

Clydebank's right-winger Joe Rankin opened the scoring in 25 minutes with a cracking 25-yard drive. And 15 minutes later the 1200 crowd saw Bankies take a 2-0 lead at half-time when left-winger McCallum scored in a goalmouth melee.

Motherwell brough in Cairney in place of left-winger Moffat. And he made the first goal when he neatly slipped the ball to McCall who netted from close-in.

Then in 64 minutes 'well hit a fighting equaliser when Murray netted a 40-yard drive.

And 'Well almost grabbed a win. Campbell had the ball in the net, but referee Syme chalked it off for offside.
