Match Report

Sunday Post

Rovers dominated the early stages but failed to snatch their chances. It was the 43rd minute before Green put them ahead but their lead was short lived. Munro got the equaliser a minute later.

After the break Clydebank forced the pace and had Rovers' defence fully stretched. McFeat was hard pressed and had some desperate saves to keep Munro, Hawkshaw and Caskie from netting.

In the 59th minute, McGovern was up-ended just outside the penalty box. Coleman took the free-kick and Rogerson, coming in like an express train, thundered the ball past Madden.

Next minute, Green netted number three from a Murphy pass. Rovers lost McGovern in the 75th minute and Batchelor took over.
