Clydebank Football Club Reaches Scottish Cup Fourth Round

Lodged by Marie McNair (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the efforts of all connected to Clydebank FC for getting to the fourth round of the Scottish Cup; understands that the Bankies entered the competition in the preliminary second round with a 7-0 victory over St Andrews United, and then went on to defeat Girvan, Keith and Buckie Thistle in the first, second and third rounds respectively; notes that Clydebank was drawn to face Hibernian at Easter Road in the fourth round, which, it understands, led to widespread excitement in the town; recognises and thanks the over 2,500 fans who travelled through to Edinburgh on 18 January 2025 to cheer on the team, with Hibs winning 3-0 on the day; recognises that for Clydebank there may be disappointment in the defeat, but hopes that the publicity that the club has received will help galvanise it in its efforts to win the West of Scotland Premier Division, and understands that the club has also received many messages of support, which could lead to a new generation of Bankies supporters, as this fan-owned club continues to grow from strength to strength.
