Match Report

Rarely, if ever before, has a side dominated a match so conclusively and not won... that was Clydebank's sob story at Kilbowie Park on Saturday.

They were so much on top throughout the game but despite this, they couldn't breach a stuffy defence, expertly marshalled by ex-Ibrox star Dave Smith and a plucky keeper in Davidson.

Berwick could only muster on chance... and it almost won the game.

It came a couple of minutes from time when a Eric Tait header prompted Jim Gallacher to make a the save of a lifetime.

I have no qualms in saying Gallacher is the most complete goalkeeper in Scotland. When did he last drop a cross?

Although Clydebank were on top from the outset, their attacking ploys seemed monotonous, as they constantly used the long ball down the middle.

But in the second half they spread it around a good deal more and that made them look all the more dangerous.

Before the interval the closest they came to scoring was when Gerry McLaughlin curled a free kick against the bar from just outside the box.

Bankies were also denied what seemed a clear penalty when McDowall handled. But I think the referee was genuinely unsighted.

Clydebank played quite attractively in the second half but their clever crossfield play was never matched by slipshod finishing.

McCormick pushed up front and this injected some strength. But Davisson held out heroically to earn his side one of their best away points of the season.
