Matches Played on August 12th

2023 - Largs Thistle 0-2 Clydebank | League (WoSFL Premier)

The Bankies performances have been getting progressively better as we get into the season, and today the players took it up another notch with one of the most emphatic two-nil victories you will ever see. Largs Thistle are always a tough task to overcome as they are full of energy and compete for every last ball. However, Clydebank stood up to the early barrage and once we took the lead we never looked back. For long periods of the second half, there was some irresistible footbal...

2019 - Pollok 1-1 Clydebank | Sectional League Cup (2nd Round)

Clydebank exited the Sectional League cup after losing to Pollok in a penalty shoot out by by four goals to two. In a night of penalty kicks the two sides could not be separated over the 90 minutes thanks to a spot kick each converted by Nicky Little for the Bankies and a late equaliser from Andrew Dallas.While it was unfortunate to go out of the competition, it was heartening to see a much stronger performance from the players, who nullified a disappointing Pollok side. Although the hom...

2017 - Clydebank 2-0 Ashfield | Sectional League Cup (Group 6)

McAnespie's Bankies made it nine wins in a row with an expected victory over an uninspiring Ashfield side. God, it was hard work though. That's three matches now, all against lower league opposition, and so far nothing to write home about performance wise. The winning run goes back to the middle of April when there were some inspired displays on the charge towards promotion. The start of this season has seen the results continue in the right direction, but the games have all been lacklustre....

Ian Gold celebrated his 50th Appearance for the Bankies by scoring the only goal of the match in a drab affair.The Whe-ho failed to register a shot on target on the night as the Bankies registered their first away win against Yoker in nine attempts.Yoker proved to be stuffy opposition though, but were finally undone just before half time when Gold got the break of the ball and fired low in to the net.Another player making his 50th appearance, Vinny Berry had a less happy ...

1981 - Clydebank 2-2 Berwick Rangers | League Cup (Group 7)

Clydebank missed a chance to get back on the rails following Saturday's Hampden defeat and, in fact they were a shade fortunate to come out of this scrappy encounter with a point.Yet it all started so well for the Kilbowie men. As early as five minutes, defender Gerry McLauchlan blasted a tremendous shot high into Rangers' net to give Bankies the lead.Really they should have tied the match up in the next 20 minutes but the final passes always let them down. It was to cost them de...

1972 - Rangers 2-0 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 3)

Clydebank PressThere was a pang of pity in my heart on Saturday afternoon about 2.50 pm. Down below my seat in the Press box the Rangers players were being presented with their European Cup Winners Cup medals and the actual cup was being paraded around the ground while the Clydebank team stood lined up at the touchline like the proverbial lambs before the slaughter.It was for them I felt the pity. For there they were the newest league side in Scotland about to tak...

1970 - Albion Rovers 2-2 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 8)

Daily RecordTragedy hit the Rovers in this 2-2 draw with Clydebank when defender Liddell was ordered off in the 33rd minute. Seconds earlier he had been in a tussle with Ruddy but apparently he must have said something as Referee Hunter, after taking his name, pointed to the pavilion.Clydebank had made most of the early running and in the second minute a good drive by Caskie saw Brown dive full length to save.Then in the 20th minute a pass from Caskie to Wilso...

1967 - Clydebank 2-0 Brechin City | League Cup (Group 9)

Clydebank PressBankies didn't disappoint fans at Kilbowie on Saturday, for after holding the mighty Chelsea to a draw last week, they had no trouble in beating Brechin City.Newly signed centre forward Jim Fleming, who top scorer with Stirling Albion wen they won promotion to the 1st division a few seasons ago, rammed in two good goals for the homesters. He could displace Tony Moy as the club's top scorer this season.The first half, although exciting with end t...

1905 - Petershill 2-1 Clydebank Juniors | League (Glasgow Junior League)

At Atlas Park, Springburn, the above clubs met under League auspices. The home team opened well, and for a time had the best of the exchanges. The Juniors came away strong after a little, and although they had had the worst of the play to begin with, it was left to them to open the scoring, which Hill did with a long drive. The home team kept trying, and at last were rewarded with a penalty, which Morrison converted. Halftime was then called. As in the first half, the home team had the b...
