Match Report
Three fine goals by Clydebank at Kilbowie Park last night crushed Raith's promotion hopes.
The goal which did all the damage arrived in just 60 seconds of a match that always promised to be a cracker.
Blair Millar ran on to a Given lob and was left with the easy task of scoring past 'keeper Murray McDermott.
In 71 minutes, Raith's' Urquhart was sent off for remarks he made to a Linesman.
Less than two minutes later Clydebank went further ahead when a Given cross found McGorm unmarked at the edge of the six-yard box.
With only 10 minutes left, Houston broke through and was brought down inside the box by McDermott. Given sent the ball under McDermott's body from the penalty spot.
