The Glasgow Herald, Monday December 10, 1917
Clydebank failed to score against Clyde in their opening match, also against Celtic at Parkhead on Saturday. In the intervening 15 games the forwards of the new club have failed to draw blank, so their failures against the East-End clubs form a strange coincidence.
