A disappointing result away to Clydebank who ran out 5-0 winners in a very impressive display . More game time in preparation for the season starting next week for the players and we are sure despite the disappointing pre season we will be ready once the serious matters begin .Two goals in the first half from Aaron Millar and Cameron McLair set them up for the win with further second half goals from Jordan Shelvey , Nicholas Little and Kyle Munro . Alexander Miller did have the ball in the net but was wrongly ruled out for being offside when it was 0-0 .
