Clydebank boss Gordon Moffat admits that Saturday’s draw with Largs Thistle is one of his proudest days as a manager, despite his sides 100 per cent league record coming to an end.

All eyes were on Barrfields for the top of the table clash as Bankies looked to continue their perfect start to the season whilst the hosts were keen to cut the gap at the top.

An early red card to Clydebank’s Matt Niven for two yellow cards seemed to set the tone from the match official but the visitors weathered the Largs storm throughout the afternoon.

The Holm Park side could even have won it with a couple of chances towards the end of the contest after the hosts had also been reduced to ten men, as a well as a strong penalty shout when Lee Gallacher’s cross looked to strike an outstretched arm of a Largs defender.

Moff was left disappointed with a number of decisions that went against his side and believes not getting clarity from the referee only added to his frustration.

Speaking to the Post, he said: “It was a really good point under the circumstances. We wanted to win the game and I was disappointed to lose our winning run but we take the point.

“It’s a bit ironic we have won every game this season but then Saturday turns out to be one of the proudest feelings I’ve had after a game with the way it panned out.

“I don’t want to overly get into things with officials but the referee lost control of the game and impacted things. We had to deal with it and there was nothing any of us could do, all we could do was focus on what we can control.

“The rules are now that only the captain can speak to the referee on the pitch but even Nicky [Little] was getting told to go away when he was approaching him in a respectful manner which was pretty disappointing.

“We were questioning from the side and my assistant Gary [McMenamin] got a yellow card which just adds to the frustration – if you are able to get a bit of an explanation it can take the heightened mood out of things but we never got that.

“I can’t control anything to do with conditions or referees but we tried to get on with it and I want to really credit my players for how they kept their discipline because there was a lot of things not going our way.

“We done really well with the tweaks we had made at the interval – we adjusted a couple of positions off the ball and never conceded a shot on target throughout which spoke volumes for how good we were out of possession.

“We also wanted a carry a threat to try and win the game which was a good thing to hear from the players when we were down to 10 men and drawing 0-0, which shows the mentality we have got at the minute and we were unlucky not to win it.

“We finished the stronger team and had a few good chances and a penalty claim which was outrageous that we never got.”

Bankies must shift their focus again this weekend as they take on Lowland League side Broxburn Athletic in yet another cup competition, the South Challenge Cup.

The West Lothian outfit currently sit in sixth place in the fifth tier of Scottish Football and Moff believes it will be beneficial for his side to gauge where they are.

He added: “It's a good test for us and will give us a barometer of where we are – we had it in the Scottish Cup with a tier 5 team from the Highland League and the guys came through that.

“It’s good to test yourself against the league above, Broxburn are doing well and picked up a lot of good results. They carry a big threat and score a lot of goals so it’ll be interesting to see how we go.

“It’s another break from the league campaign and the pressures that come with it so we go there in good form and we’ll give it our best shot.”

Kick-off at Albyn Park on Saturday is at 3:00pm.
