Clydebank make one change to the team that defeated Celtic B 4-0 last Saturday at Holm Park. In comes Nicky Little who replaces Rocco Hickey Fugaccia.

After a well observed minute silence for all in attendance for remembrance weekend, we are underway at Albyn Park.

The visitors have dominated the early stages, enjoying lots of possession.

On the seventh minute, Clydebank’s Chris McGowan is booked for a foul on Jamie Docherty.

On twelve minutes, Broxburn threaten for the first time. Jamie Docherty drives into the box but his shot has no power and is easily collected by Bankies keeper Owen Scott. On seventeen minutes, a deep cross from the left by Gallagher Lennon is well defended by Clydebank’s Dean Cairns who cooly heads back for keeper Scott to collect.

The visitors created their best chance of the match so far on eighteen minutes. Nicky Little is through on goal and Jack McConnell makes an excellent block.

Next in the referee’s book is Clydebank’s Adam Hodge is booked for fouling Marcus Lavery on twenty-one minutes. On twenty-three minutes, a deep ball into the box by Clydebank is pushed away by Broxburn keeper McConnell and the Badgers eventually clear their lines.

A half volley by Jamie Docherty is easily saved by Clydebank keeper Owen Scott.

Big chance for Broxburn on thirty-nine minutes. Scott McRory-Irving feeds in Jamie Docherty whose shot is well blocked by a well-timed sliding tackle from Clydebank defender David Syme. The resulting corner is cleared as far as Robbie McGale who takes on the Clydebank full back, but his shot deflects wide. On forty minutes, from the resulting corner, the ball bounces to Greg Page and his shot is blocked by Chris McGowan.

On forty-two minutes, a deep cross by Adam Hodge from the right finds Keir Samson whose header hits the bar, the rebound falls to Oisin McHugh whose header also hits the bar. Broxburn clear for the corner.
