Match Report


A night of attacking football under the floodlights at New Kilbowie Park ended with a well-deserved draw for both Clydebank and Motherwell.

Clydebank struck first in the 28th minute with a well-placed drive from Joe Rankin. The goal stemmed from a driving run by McGhee through the heart of the Motherwell midfield, creating the space for Rankin to unleash a shot that found the back of the net.

Clydebank doubled their lead just before half time with a moment of individual brilliance from McCallum. Cutting in from the touchline, he displayed dazzling footwork as he beat several Motherwell defenders before firing an unstoppable shot past McCloy in goal.

Motherwell emerged from the break with renewed purpose, peppering the Clydebank goal with attacks. Their persistence paid off in the 55th minute when McCall pulled one back for the visitors.

The Lanarkshire side continued to push for an equaliser, and their efforts were rewarded ten minutes later with a thunderous strike from Murray. The long-range effort rocketed past the Clydebank goalkeeper to level the score at 2-2, ensuring a share of the spoils for both teams.
