Match Report

If Morton are feeling shaky this morning, it's hardly surprising. Humble Clydebank gave them quite a scare with a remarkable display of determination.

The standout hero for Clydebank was Sandy MacLachlan. For 70 intense minutes, the resilient goalkeeper handled everything Morton's forwards threw at him with aplomb.

In fact, he exited the field without letting a single goal slip past him. However, with 20 minutes remaining, MacLachlan collided with Moy and had to be helped off the pitch due to mild concussion.

Within five minutes of Small taking over in goal and Wark stepping in at right back, disaster struck the valiant Bankies once more.

From the edge of the box, Joe Harper delivered the decisive blow with a blistering shot into the far corner of the net.

At the onset of the match, it seemed like it would follow the expected script when Joe Mason threatened three times in as many minutes. However, Clydebank's wingers soon began exploiting gaps in Morton's defence, maintaining the pressure until the 70th minute.

It was somewhat unfortunate for Clydebank to lose their goalkeeper towards the end of the game. Had MacLachlan remained on the field, the Bankies might have held the visitors to a draw or even managed to score a goal of their own.
