Rangers fielded predominantly a reserve side bolstered by Derek Ferguson and ex-Bankies hero Davie Cooper. The two South African trialists were also in the squad. Whereas Clydebank had re-signing rebels Joe Dickson and John Davies starting the matchRangers were the first to threaten as McSwegan’s shot went narrowly past the post in the third minute.

The home team at once found their bearings, and in about two minutes - McClonie, late Benburb, beat Allan Strathclyde's new goalkeeper, with a lovely shot. The Juniors continued to hold the upper hand for a time, w...
