Match Report


The Clydebank team was shifted about a bit. Eddie Moore was on the right half and Devlin, of the youth team, played at centre-forward in place of Moore.

For the first half-hour things looked promising for Clydebank, despite the snow on top of a very tricky surface.

Clydebank were giving as good as they got. A shot from Moy, after 10 minutes went over the bar.

In the 32nd minute Queen's Park went into the lead. Mackay got the ball on the left wing and sent it into the middle through Madden's legs. Hunter, centre forward, slammed the ball home from three yards out.

After this Clydebank were badly shaken.

Arthur Paterson had a very good game, his passing was excellent and he proved to be the best of the forwards. When the others seemed to have given up hope he was still pushing on.

In the 65th minute Queen's Park got their second when Hunter headed home a free kick from close in.

After this Clydebank brought on Pat Henderson in place of McAleer, but this did not do much good.

Moore got booked for retaliation; He was coming clear of the Clydebank defence when the chap shadowing him ran up and tried to tackle from behind. Moore back-heeled the chap.

The third goal come in the 73rd minute. After a goalmouth scramble Mackay shoved the ball over the line and into the net. Right after this Mackay was taken off and Buchanan was put on in his place. Buchanan was later booked for having a go at Madden.

Clydebank were now playing very badly but Paterson was playing his best game ever.

Four minutes after the third goal inside right Hay scored number four from 18 yards out. The shot hit the inside of the post and rebounded into the back of the net, leaving Madden looking sort of flat-footed.
