Friendly

Match Report

Clydebank may have lost this midweek friendly under the Kilbowie floodlights, but they emerged with plenty of credit after pushing promotion-chasing Morton all the way in a closely contested match.

The Greenock side, widely expected to take their place in the First Division next season, were made to work hard for their narrow 1–0 victory, with Clydebank defending doggedly and showing plenty of spirit throughout.

The only goal came in the 73rd minute, when Morton substitute Ewing – on for the injured Thorup – finally found a way past the resolute Bankies defence. It was a rare breakthrough in a match where clear chances were few, despite Morton's territorial dominance.

Clydebank may not have carried much attacking threat on the night, but their organisation and determination made life extremely difficult for their more experienced opponents. Although the £150 challenge wager went to Morton, the Bankies earned plenty of plaudits for their performance.
