Bankies enhanced their promotion hopes with a hard fought victory over an ultra-defensive Perth side and increased their league lead over Dundee to six points.
It was hard work for Clydebank who were faced with an eight-man defensive barrier and it took them over an hour to break the deadlock.
The first half saw Bankies in constant attack against a no-nonsense side who booted the ball anywhere for the sake of safety and in an obvious bid to steal a point.
Cooper, McColl and Hay all had great efforts blocked.
Nicoll in the visiting goal was having a night to remember. Time and time again he thwarted the eager home forwards with fine saves.
After the interval Lumsden replaced Ronald and as Bankies renewed their efforts Thomson was booked for fouling Cooper.
Somehow the visitors' goal stayed intact until the 65th minute, when Larnach scored after Hay had set up the chance beautifully.
Billy McColl sewed up the issue in the 88th minute when he headed home from close in.
This victory sets up Bankies ideally for tomorrow's crucial clash against Dundee at Kilbowie.
