It was a dismal start to the new year for Pollok, who fell to rivals Clydebank by three goals to one.

The away team piled the pressure on early with Tom Hanlon and Iain Diak both having chances in an attacking spell by Pollok.

However, Jonathon Carter’s tug on Darian Mackinnon inside the box gave the Bankies a penalty in the 37th minute which was duly converted by Gordon Moffat.

Early into the second half Martin McComish played the ball through to MacKinnon who put a curling 18-yard shot past Lok keeper and the home team looked to be well in control.

Ross McPherson added a third on the 57th minute mark although this seemed to provoke a resurgence from a wearied Pollok team. Stephen Smith grabbed a consolation six minutes later and chances followed from Hanlon, Swift and McGinty which had the home fans looking worried.

But it was not to be their day as McGinty picked up a second yellow for simulation just before the end of normal play.

Pollok will be hoping for a better result when they face Glenaftan away in the second round of the West of Scotland Cup this coming Saturday.
