Match Report
Clydebank Press
Clydebank's 'keeper, Sandy MacLachlan, played a magnificent game against Morton last Saturday afternoon. Sandy who was Clydebank's hero of the day, kept off everything that the Morton forwards could throw at him and was unfortunate that, in the 70th minute, he had a head on crash with inside-left Moy and had to be taken off with mild concussion.Small then took over in Clydebank's goal. Five minutes after he had taken over, Morton scored the only goal of the game when Joe Harper sent a scorching shot into the back of the net from the edge of the box.
At the beginning of the game it looked as if Morton would show true to form and beat the 'Bankies well and truly. Joe Mason frightened the Clydebank defence at the beginning of the game, but McCallum and Rankine soon started to find their way through the Morton defence.
It was perhaps a trifle unlucky for the Clydebank team that they should lose their 'keeper at the end of the game. If MacLachlan had not been taken off the 'Bankies would Surely have held the visitors to a draw, or maybe even scored one goal to their credit.
