Matches Played on August 20th

2022 - Clydebank 7-0 Rossvale Acad | Friendly

This friendly match against Rossvale Academy turned out to be a huge mis-match and ended up to be no more than a glorified training session. It was costly as well with Oisin McHugh pulling up with an injured hamstring just nine minutes into the game, but more damaging was the straight red card given to Matt Niven, for “head butting” a Rossvale player in retaliation to a poor tackle.Make no mistake, he deserved to be sent off, but as with Nicky Little against Nairn Co, we are likely to se...

2018 - Petershill 3-1 Clydebank | Sectional League Cup (Quarter Final)

Clydebank relinquished their grip on the Sectional League Cup this evening after going doing down by three goals to one at Petershill, mainly due to a rather pedestrian first half performance. A change of personnel at the break led to a much improved showing in the second half, but with Petershill already two goals up a comeback never really looked on. A fluke goal put the home side further ahead, and Nicky Little’s counter turned out to be nothing more than a consolation.Kieran McAnespi...

2012 - Yoker Athletic 2-0 Clydebank | Sectional League Cup (Group 6)

The less said about this match the better as Clydebank turned in one of their most inept performances in recent seasons. To keep it brief the Bankies required one win in their two remaining Sectional League Cup ties, both against lower league opposition. A point against basement division Maryhill reduced that to a single point against county rivals Yoker Athletic.Five changes were made to the side that started the league campaign in such style against Beith the previous Saturday. Couple ...

2011 - Clydebank 0-1 Petershill | League (Super Premier Division)

Two games played and no points on the board. That is the all-important statistic on the league table for the Bankies after following up last week’s defeat to Rob Roy by losing to a single goal against a strong looking Petershill outfit. The hard thing for the Bankies to take will be the fact that they haven’t played badly in either of these matches, but such is the strength of this league that each and every point is like gold dust and will have to be fought for tooth and nail.The main d...

1969 - Clydebank 3-2 Stranraer | League Cup (Group 7)

Clydebank PressEarly last season I said of Bobby Love, "He'd be better suited in a Victorian parlour scene than on a football pitch." After seeing Love play in this match, last Wednesday night, I'll eat my words, humbly.Playing on a heavy pitch Love thrived on the tense atmosphere of this matchHe had his name taken in the second half, following a series of incidents in which a Stranraer player, Symington, was ordered off for using foul language, and Clark was ...

1966 - Brechin City 3-1 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 9)

Clydebank slipped to a second successive defeat in the League Cup group stages despite producing another disciplined display against an impressive Brechin City side at Glebe Park.The home side had begun the competition in excellent form and maintained their unbeaten record, although the scoreline did not fully reflect the resistance offered by the Bankies, whose defence - and particularly goalkeeper Ronnie Wilson - frustrated Brechin for long spells.City made the early running an...

1904 - Petershill 3-2 Clydebank Juniors | League (Glasgow Junior League)

The Springburn club gained their first brace of points on Saturday at the expense of Clydebank Juniors, the occasion being the opening of the League season at Atlas Park. The game was a keenly-contested one from beginning to end, and had Clydebank equalised during the closing stages when they showed considerable energy it would have been little more than they deserved. The home team opened the scoring after seven minutes from a penalty Maxwell being fouled when running right into Bell. H...
