- This was an all-ticket game.
- This was Celtic's first ever defeat at Kilbowie Park against the relegation bound Bankies.
- Ex Celt Tommy Callaghan is a Clydebank substitute.
Review
Another low point in a disappointing season as Celtic go down to already relegated Clydebank. Youngsters Burns and McCluskey were Celtic's best players but the more experienced players contributed little. When Roddy MacDonald went off injured the defence collapsed and many saw Colgan's late winner coming.
