Biography
John McGill was signed in 1965 from Stirling Albion. It would be fair to say he was a journeyman footballer. He signed for Airdrie as far back as 1957 and was a handy player to have around back then, scoring thirty two (32) goals in just seventy (70) games.
John started playing for Clydebank in the Scottish Combined Reserve League in 1965. When Clydebank officially joined the Scottish League in season 1966/67 John McGill was used in numerous positions both in defence and attack, before becoming the Clydebank regular centre half. It was not altogether a successful conversion. He left Clydebank at the end of the season.

Last Goal
Clydebank 3 - 2 Stenhousemuir
League Cup (Group 9)
With Brechin City now in the quarter finals of the cup, neither team on Saturday had anything to gain; however the way both teams played one would have thought they were heading for the final.

50th Appearance
Clydebank 4 - 0 Stranraer
League (Division 2)
This was Clydebank's best win of the season and one of their easiest. Stranraer had no answer to Clydebank's fast and skilful play and their main fault lay in defence where their keeper had a nightmar

Last Appearance
Clydebank 2 - 3 Stenhousemuir
League (Division 2)
Bankies had a very unhappy end to the season at Kilbowie when they played host to Stenhousemuir , a team they should have beaten had they not succumbed to slack play, the undoing of many teams.
