2025 - Tranent 0-5 Clydebank | League (Lowland League)

The Bankies produced their most formidable performance of the season as they swatted aside the much-fancied Tranent by five goals to nil at Forester Park. Up until now, Clydebank’s wins had been more functional than inspired, but this was a different level entirely. From the first whistle, the players were sharper, quicker, and hungrier — and the result was a demolition job that will have the rest of the Lowland League sitting up and taking notice.Tranent could hardly point to excuses. T...

2017 - Clydebank 3-2 Kirkintilloch Rob Roy | Sectional League Cup (Quarter Final)

Clydebank deservedly booked their place in the League Cup semi-final with a fine win over holders Rob Roy, and will travel to Cambuslang next week to battle it out for a place in the final.McAnespie made a few changes from Saturday leaving out Allan, Johnston and Forsyth who were co-incidentally the three best performers. He also chose to go with a 4-4-2 which immediately paid dividends. Ciaran Lafferty who is quickly finding his feet at this level ran on to a long ball and rattled it in...

2008 - Clydebank 1-0 Kilbirnie Lade | League (Super Division One)

Clydebank got their league campaign underway with an impressive victory against Kilbirnie Ladeside. The Blasties are many people's favourites for promotion after retaining most of the squad from Last year's West of Scotland Cup triumph.A single goal from Andy Selkirk was enough to separate the sides, however the Bankies should have been home and dry with two further efforts hitting the woodwork.In a drab first period, it took 18 minutes before there was an effort at goal, and tha...

1972 - Ayr Utd 5-0 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 3)

Clydebank PressThis match was switched to nearby Dam Park, as the new pitch at Somerset Park was not ready. As there are no floodlights, the kick off had to be brought forward by 45 minutes.Any hopes Second Division Clydebank might have entertained about repeating last week's win over First Division Ayr lasted exactly four minutes..In that short space of time big George MCLEAN had sized up the opposition, missed a sitter from six yards and then headed home...

1969 - Dumbarton 1-0 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 7)

Clydebank PressThis match was nothing short of a farce. After Wednesday night's game against Stranraer it brought 'Bankies back down to earth with a good solid bump, which must have hurt considerably!With Ian Hawkshaw out of the team, the forward line amounted to exactly nil as far as tactics were concerned. Not until Tommy McGhee was brought on in place of Cumming half way through the second half, did it look as though 'Bankies might get somewhere.Certainly C...

1967 - Ayr Utd 3-1 Clydebank | League (Division 2)

The ScotsmanTo Somerset Park in the auld toon of Ayr as a change from the high-pressure areas of football. There to watch the deposed Ayr United start their campaign to regain lost status and to see Clydebank try to establish themselves as a worthy revival of the old club.A quick impression was that method football has penetrated to the Second Division but that in the case of Clydebank an academic knowledge of the new formations is not sufficient. They need pace to ma...
