Match Report
Evening Times
A Scorching, 20 yard, knee high shot by Queen of the South left half Jim Kerr in the 24th minute of last night's Scottish Cup second preliminary round second replay at Firhill ended Clydebank's gallant cup run.Queens, who now meet Stirling Albion at Dumfries in the first round proper on Saturday thoroughly deserved their win.
They turned on a brand of open, direct football, which Clydebank were never able to match, and the wonder was that it took 300 minutes to separate the teams.
Kerr was the man of the match. Apart from scoring the vital goal - he might have had two more - he kept up a non stop service to the buoyant Dumfries forwards, who responded with some great moves that had the Clydebank defence in endless trouble.
With Kenny Dick's intelligent use of the ball creating numerous opportunities for the strong running McChesney and Lex Law, Queens dominated for long spells. And it was only the dogged play of Ernie Collumbine, Eddie Moore, and Tommy McGhee that kept Clydebank in the game.
Clydebank's forwards were a sad disappointment from the fiery, all action lot of the previous night. They never hit it off at all, and there was a great reluctance to shoot when they did get within striking distance.
Even Tony Moy, the two goal hero of Wednesday, was out of touch, and slammed an 11 minute penalty against the bar by trying to take it too hurriedly.
There was also a glaring lack of fight about some of Clydebank's forwards, but in the last 20 minutes Arthur Paterson, who had moved to centre forward after Eddie Jenkins substituted for Brazilian Ayrton Inacio at Half time, nearly pulled the game out of the fire.
Two brilliant saves by keeper Allan Ball, whose all-round display must have caught the eye of the watching Jock Stein of Celtic, and a bad miss by Paterson, signalled Clydebank's exit.
Daily Record
Well, it's all over at last... after five hours of Cup drama Queen of the South scraped through to the first round of the Scottish Cup at Firhill last night.The Queens just outlasted gallant Clydebank in this third replay of the preliminary round and now go on to meet Stirling Albion at Palmerston a week tomorrow.
The goal that ended this marathon tie came from wing-half Jim Kerr after 24 minutes But the Dumfries club must really thank Clydebank's Tony Moy, who missed a penalty in the sixth minute!
Spare a thought for Tony this morning, for he is the Bankies leading goal-scorer and grabbed both their goals in the second replay on Wednesday. The game never really lived up to expectations. Two tough games in 24 hours was maybe asking just too much of the Clydebank part-timers.
Goal hero Jim Kerr was one of the few really entertaining players. The attacking wing half was prominent all through the game and his goal was a beauty of a match-winner.
From a Barker free-kick the ball came bouncing off a Bankies' defender and, from 25 yards, Kerr ran on to thunder a shot past bewildered 'keeper Dick Madden.
But, oh, how Bankles' pin-up boy Moy must be kicking himself for that penalty miss early in the game. Tony was pulled down by Kerr and from the spot he smacked the ball against the crossbar with 'keeper Alan Ball well beaten.
Queen of the South played the better football, but were apt to overdo it. Inside-forward Ian Law, the boy Chelsea, Clyde and a host of other teams are after was clever when he lost his shadow - Bankies No 8, King.
Again English amateur internationalists left-back Mike Barker and pivot George Siddle were tops for Queens.
But credit must go to Clydebank, who did everything but score in the last 20 minutes.
Eddie Jenkins came on for Brazilian Ayrton Inacio, who failed to impress in the first half.
Queen's keeper, Alan Ball, had some great saves near the and a left-foot shot by Arthur Paterson was a sure goal but or him.
With Bankies going all out for an equaliser it meant that the defence was under-strength and this almost proved fatal three minutes from time
It was that man Kerr again who almost scored. From a Jackson pass he crashed a thunderbolt of a shot against the bar.
In the late stages Queen's put on 12th man Bobby Carroll McChesney, who was limping.
I'm sorry to see Bankies go out They tried so hard. They bowed out gracefully and courageously and their fans can be proud them after 300 minutes of Scottish Cup soccer.
