Match Report

Clydebank Press

The first leg of the qualifying round was played at Somerset Park, Ayr, on Monday of this week and turned out to be a 'cracker' with the home side grabbing a last-gasp equaliser.

Bankies scored through a penalty after Ayr's right-half Quinn handled in the box. Tony Moy netted from the spot

Ingram slammed home a rebound from Dick Madden after McMillan had had a go to get the equaliser for Ayr in the closing minutes of the game.

This set the scene for a real thriller at Kilbowie on Wednesday.

Daily Record

A Sizzling shot from centre Alex Ingram a minute from time gave fighting Ayr a deserved draw in the first leg of the League Cup play-off at Somerset Park last night.

It was a last-gasp goal which now makes the second leg at Kilbowie tomorrow night a real thrilling affair-with the winners meeting Celtic in the quarter-final.

Celtic manager Jock Stein who watched his future opponents. may have been impressed with the soccer mastery, but he must have been impressed with the honest endeavour shown.

Ayr, after losing a goal from the penalty spot, when right half Stan Quinn handled, kept hammering away until they found a way past the top-form Madden.

Bankies should have gone ahead in the opening minutes when centre Eddie Moore, after tricking Monan, missed badly with only 'keeper Ian Stewart to beat.

But it was Ayr who piled on the pressure and Boyd came to Bankies' rescue to clear a Malone drive off the line.

Ayr were unlucky not to score, and Ingram and Mitchell saw good shots saved by ex-Celtic 'keeper Madden.

But inside a minute of the second-half Bankles were one up. Ayr's right-half Quinn

handled inside the box and Willie Moy gave 'keeper Stewart no chance.

A crowd of 5000 were getting plenty to shout about as Ayr went all out for the equaliser. It nearly came in the 56th minute when Ingram pushed the ball past Madden into the net, only to be blown up for offside.

With time running out. Ayr began to get desperate. But in the dying seconds Ingram scored a sensational equaliser.

McMillan blasted the ball against Madden and Ingram took the rebound first time, to shoot home.

Bankies have arranged to play English cracks Chelsea at Kilbowie Park on Wednesday, September 20 to celebrate the launching of the Q4 liner.

Aberdeen Press and Journal

Celtic manager Jock Stein was an interested spectator at this Scottish League Cup supplementary round first leg tie at Somerset Park, but it is doubtful if he saw anything to give him sleepless nights before the winners meet the European champions.

What he did see was an all action tie including a dramatic Ayr equaliser 30 seconds from time.

It came from the right foot of United's Alex Ingram, who collected a rebound from keeper Madden to net. For Ayr the goal was a tremendous relief after almost non-stop pressure. Time and again they were denied by a Clydebank defence which survived frantic goalmouth scrambles.

At the same time Clydebank were by no means failures in attack. They could well have profited had Moore accepted two golden chances against his former clubmates.

As it was, Walker, McMillan and Ingram were all denied goals by the brilliance of Madden before the interval.

Clydebank snatched the lead from the penalty spot two minutes after the restart. Quinn, with his centre half Monan lying injured behind him, handled a cross from the right. Moy scored from the spot.
