Match Report

Clydebank Press

Clydebank were the more aggressive side at Stenhousemuir but were beaten by the odd goal in three. The Bankies missed several chances before Muir took the lead. Afterwards the Warriors had to hang on grimly to save the points.

The Bankies featured Ian Porter in goals who was on trial from Cambuslang Rangers.

The opening goal came in the 21st minute via the penalty spot after Ernie Collumbine handled with no danger threatening. McGuckin converted the spot kick successfully.

Bankies did not take too long to equalise for only eight minutes later Tony Moy scored when his shot deflected away from the keeper.

Baxter came on for the injured Henderson just before the break and tried hard to get his side moving.

Clydebank were the aggressors in the second half but were shocked when McGuckin netted the winner from a great pass by their trialist outside right.

Falkirk Herald

Stenhousemuir's Barry McGuckin scored the first double of his Senior career to take the Warriors to victory against Clydebank last Saturday - and if Barry continues to show his present form, he will score many more goals, though not necessarily with Stenhousemuir. The youngster has a style which would look even better in a higher grade of football.

The Warriors just deserved their narrow victory, although there were times when Clydebank were on the offensive for long periods. The first belonged to the homesters and they deserved an interval lead. After the break, Clydebank attacked continually but Stenhousemuir broke away a few times and managed to net the vital winner.

Stenhousemuir had a triallist right wing on view and McGregor was having his first game after his second serious leg injury of the season. The outside right proved that his showing against St. Mirren was not a fluke and was signed after the game. His partner displayed some fine touches but was not robust enough for Second Division football. He faded after the interval.

Ex-Warrior Collumbine conceded the penalty in the 21st minute when he pulled down the ball after McGuckin had tricked him. The centre-forward converted the award neatly.

Eight minutes later, Clydebank got back on level terms in a rather fortunate fashion. A softish shot from Moy appeared to be covered by Swann when it was deflected away from him by a defender.

Before the break. Henderson was injured and ex-Bairn Baxter came on as substitute.

Baxter was prominent after the interval and gave Moy an excellent chance with an astute lob. The inside man hurried his shot and Swann saved easily. A Yates tackle thwarted Baxter when the substitute looked like scoring. Clydebank were definitely on top at this stage, but the home defence was holding firm, albeit luckily at times.

With 20 minutes to go McGuckin gave Duncan a chance, but the winger sent the ball high over. In the next minute he redeemed himself with a perfect pass for the centre to net the winner and his second goal
