MARK HAILSTONES We signed Mark at the beginning of the 2003/2004 season when we were building a squad from scratch. He had made an impression on us during the early training and games involved in those pre-season preparations. Mark had been recommended by Davie Coates who had worked with him at Kilpatrick Juveniles and Davie was convinced that he would be worth having a look at. In hindsight, he can pat himself on the back for that recommendation. Although he wasn’t the tallest of the players, it was obvious that he would more than make up for his lack of height by displaying a real energy and tenacity that was above average. He went on to make a significant contribution to what was a memorable title winning debut season for us and I’m sure the majority of opposition defenders were glad to see the back of the wee man as we moved up into the first division. Season after season he continued to produce the goods on a regular basis and as he matured as a player he also became more flexible; being employed equally effective in many roles, i.e. as a main striker, as a wide player, as an impact player coming off the bench and even as a full back. Alt- hough maybe not prolific, in his ten seasons with us he has scored an admirable amount of goals and many of those have also appeared in bigger games and many could be placed in the ‘spectacular’ bracket. Football is often full of irony and taking that into account it is maybe no surprise that one of the few times he wasn’t able to supply a ‘big game’ strike for us was in possibly our biggest game, the Scot- tish Junior Cup Final at Rugby Park. Trailing 2-1 and entering the final few minutes, the wee man found space in Auchinleck Talbots box and as their keeper came off his line Mark attempted to lift the ball over him and into the net which would have taken the game into extra time. For a split second I thought the perfect moment had arrived for both Mark and the club where he would once again come up with the goods at the best possible time and on the biggest stage possible. Unfortu- nately the ball sailed agonisingly over the keeper and crossbar and the rest is history. I felt for the wee man at that point but there is no way anyone would dream of holding that miss against him as he has more than made up for it by playing such a big part in our successes over the past ten years. In this day and age not many players can claim this length of service to one club and I am delighted that Marks loyalty and effort is being recognised in this way by our supporters. I would personally like to thank him for all his hard work over the past ten seasons.

29/09/2007 Kilbirnie Ladeside Super League 1 H 3-2 Hailstones,Jack 2 Tonight Clydebank fans have the opportunity to pay tribute to the club’s longest serving player in this testimonial match to 06/10/2007 Scone Thistle Scottish Jun Cup R1 H 6-3 Jack,Fisher,Hailstones 2,Kenna,Craig honour the achievements of the one and only Mark Hailstones. Mark was inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame at the Sporting Dinner back in March and now has the chance to take another bow in front of the faithful Bankies support, most of whom have 08/12/2007 St.Rochs Scottish Jun Cup R3 H 4-1 Bowie 2,Hailstones 2 shared his journey from the bottom tier of the junior leagues to the top over these ten seasons. 19/01/2008 Blairgowrie Scottish Jun Cup R4 A 3-2 Bowie,Lappin,Hailstones When Clydebank Football Club reformed as a junior side back in 2003 they had no manager, no ground and most importantly 16/02/2008 Lochee United Scottish Jun Cup R5 H 3-2 Bowie,Hailstones,Jack no players. The United Clydebank Supporters (UCS) unanimously agreed to approach former centre back Billy “Budgie” McGhie to take the reins and become the first manager of the newly reformed club. Budgie, who was also inducted into the 15/03/2008 Bathgate Thistle Scottish Jun Cup QF A 1-1 Hailstones Hall of fame this year, is the only other member of the management team or playing staff to have been at the club since its 10/05/2008 Kilwinning ran Super League 1 A 4-1 Hailstones 2,Kenna,Allum rebirth and he had his work cut out to get a team together for the start of the 2003-04 season after the club successfully gained acceptance to join the SJFA and with it admittance into the Central District Second Division. One of his first signings was a 17/05/2008 Annbank United Super League 1 H 3-0 Allum,Hailstones,Jordan fresh faced twenty year old Balfron boy from Kilpatrick U21s by the name of Mark Hailstones. 26/05/2008 Maryhill Super League 1 A 2-0 Hailstones,Craig

As a boyhood Rangers fan, when Mark was approached by the testimonial committee and asked who he’d like to make up 06/09/2008 Renfrew Super League 1 H 2-1 Hailstones,Jordan today’s opposition his answer was obvious. “The biggest club in Glasgow”, he said. Unfortunately Celtic were unavailable. 20/09/2008 Wos Cup R1 A 2-0 Hailstones,J.Jack Sadly Partick Thistle too were also unable to send a side. Joking apart, the testimonial committee, and everyone at Clydebank Bellshill Ath Football Club, are delighted that Ally McCoist agreed to send a representative side of the newly crowned SFL Third Division 18/10/2008 Kilwinning Ran WoS Cup R2 H 1-1 Hailstones champions, Glasgow Rangers F.C., to Holm Park this evening. 20/12/2008 Kilsyth Ran Super League 1 H 1-0 Hailstones Scottish football was shaken to its very foundations in February of last year when Rangers, the biggest club in the country, 14/03/2009 Scottish Jun Cup QF A 2-1 Hailstones,Mackie went into administration. By the June there seemed no way that a resolution with their creditors could be agreed and they Petershill entered the liquidation process. The result of that was to see the most successful club in Scotland having to start all over again 21/03/2009 Shotts Bon Acc Super League 1 H 3-1 Hailstones,Hobbs,Maxwell(p) in the bottom tier of the SFL, the Third Division. The club were also banned from signing new players for one year and with 13/05/2009 Super League 1 H 3-0 Hobbs,Scobie,Hailstones several of their star performers leaving it meant Ally McCoist would be forced to play many of his younger players. Lanark Utd 05/12/2009 Super League 1 A 1-0 Hailstones Rangers kicked off their season at the end of July in the unfamiliar surroundings of Brechin in the equally unfamiliar Rams- Ashfield den’s Cup, a trophy which is open to clubs from the SFL. A win by the odd goal in three saw the young Gers side in round two 12/12/2009 Dalry Thistle Super League 1 H 3-1 Cairney,Hailstones,Smith where they would meet Falkirk, a side two divisions higher, in August. That didn’t seem to faze Ally McCoist’s youngsters as 06/02/2010 Super League 1 H 3-3 Dallas 2,Hailstones they won that tie by the only goal. In round three they faced Queen of the South at Ibrox but lost out on penalties. The Scottish Girvan League Cup, a trophy they have won more than any other club, witnessed the Glasgow giants in round one where they were 01/05/2010 Annbank Utd Super League 1 A 3-2 McInnes,Hailstones,Smith drawn against East Fife at Ibrox. They proved no obstacle as Rangers scored four without reply before seeing off Falkirk again 28/05/2010 Cent. League Cup Sf H 3-2 Hailstones,Campbell,Mackie in round two, this time by 3-0. Round three threw up an intriguing tie as SPL Motherwell came to Glasgow but they too were no Petershill match as Rangers again kept a clean sheet when seeing off the Steelmen, winning 2-0. The quarter final proved to be the end 25/09/2010 Ashfield Super League 1 A 2-1 Dallas,Hailstones as terry Butcher’s Inverness Caledonian Thistle side went to Ibrox and won 3-0. The Scottish Cup was the only avenue open to Rangers if they were to have any ambitions of playing European football next term, an arena they are all too familiar with. A 13/11/2010 Annbank Utd. Super League 1 H 1-0 Hailstones first round bye saw them paired with Highland League side Forres Mechanics in round two and a narrow 1-0 win was enough 05/03/2011 Whittlets Vict. Super League 1 A 3-1 Dymock,Hailstones,Moffat to progress. Round three was altogether different as Rangers trounced Alloa 7-0. Another clean sheet in the next round following a three goal win over Elgin meant the possibility of a SPL side in the fifth round draw. And so it came to be, finally a draw at 19/03/2011 Renfrew Super League 1 A 2-0 Hailstones 2 the home of one of the sides that voted to eject Rangers from the SPL, Dundee United. It is well documented that Rangers 07/05/2011 Bellshill Ath Super League 1 A 3-1 McAdam,McComish,Hailstones fans would vote with their feet if and when they had to travel to one of the clubs who, they feel, betrayed them by not support- ing their desire to drop just one division following liquidation. And they did as Charles Green refused to take up the club’s 31/03/2012 Cumbernauld Utd Central LC R3 A 3-1 Wilson,Berry,Hailstones allocation of tickets for a match that United would win 3-0. 18/08/2012 Beith West Super Premier A 4-1 Gold,McPherson,Hailstones,O.G 24/11/2012 Kirky Rob Roy West Super Premier A 3-0 Gold,McPherson,Hailstones

06/09/2003 Lesmahagow Central League 2 A 2-0 Hailstones,Berry However promotion was always the main priority for Rangers and, for the expectant Gers fans, with it the champion- ship. At home they were very comfortable, winning their first four. At the same time they were finding it tough going on 04/10/2003 Thorniewood Central League 2 H 2-1 Tolland,Hailstones the road as they drew three and lost one away from home. It took until the end of October before the Glasgow side 01/11/2003 Coltness Utd Central League 2 A 3-0 Hailstones,Noble,D.Prior would finally win on the road in the league when they defeated Clyde 2-0. After that win they wouldn’t taste defeat away from home ten of their next twelve games away from home and drawing the other two although they weren’t getting it all 24/01/2004 Ashfield Central League 2 A 3-0 Crawford 2,Hailstones their own way at Ibrox as they managed to lose to clubs such as Annan Athletic and Peterhead during the same period. 21/02/2004 Coltness Utd Cen League Cup 1 H 5-1 MacKay 4,Hailstones The title was only being delayed though and it duly arrived after a no score draw at Montrose and the inevitable rise from the basement division was delivered by Ally McCoist’s men. Next season should provide a sterner test for Rangers 06/03/2004 Royal Albert Central League 2 A 2-1 Hailstones,MacKay and with the lifting of the transfer embargo they will have the weight of expectation on their shoulders once again as 24/04/2004 Wishaw Central League 2 H 4-2 Crawford 2,Simeon,Hailstones they battle to get back to what they perceive to be their rightful place, at the top table of Scottish football.

08/05/2004 Forth Wanderers Central League 2 H 5-1 Kilpatrick,Maxwell 2,MacKay,Hailstones As a young boy Mark’s hero was a player who delighted the fans of both today’s clubs during a fantastic twenty year 15/05/2004 Coltness Utd Central League 2 H 5-0 MacKay,Simeon 3,Hailstones professional career. That player was the late, great Davie Cooper another member of Clydebank’s Hall of Fame. Mark Hailstones began his career playing down the wing, just like his hero. He first came to light in a Bankies shirt in the 21/05/2004 Forth Wanderers Central League 2 A 2-0 Hailstones,Kilpatrick club’s first ever public showing, a friendly at Johnstone Burgh. His first goals for the club came in a pre-season invita- 29/05/2004 Pollok ETCWC H 1-3 Hailstones tional tournament when he notched a double against Irvine Vics in a 6-1 rout. His first competitive goal came a few weeks later at Lesmahagow, the club’s first ever league goal since returning to the juniors. That first season cemented 07/08/2004 St.Rochs Sec League Cup A 2-0 Maxwell,Hailstones Mark as one of Bankies cult heroes and he ended that season as the supporter’s Player of the Year, the Young Player 18/08/2004 Vale of Clyde Sec League Cup A 2-3 Maxwell,Hailstones (p) of the Year and the UCS Trust Player of the Year. He was also named POTY by the Bankies Babes in 05-06 and won the UCS Trust award again in season 08-09. In the 09-10 season he won yet another award, this time for scoring the 21/08/2004 Shettleston Sec League Cup H 4-2 Hailstones,Wilson,Crawford,Allison goal of the season. Apparently his memory of these awards isn’t too good as he could only recall winning an award 28/08/2004 Vale of Leven Central League 1 H 3-2 Kelly,Crawford,Hailstones from his first season when this topic was briefly discussed at the Sporting Dinner after his induction into the Hall of Fame, perhaps too many drinks that evening Mark? Apart from Davie Cooper there are some other notable players to 18/09/2004 Johnstone Burgh WoS Cup 1 A 1-0 Hailstones have played for both clubs over the years. Bobby Williamson also began his career at Clydebank before going to Ibrox 02/10/2004 Dunipace Central League 1 H 2-0 Crawford,Hailstones and, of course, former Rangers and England captain Terry Butcher had a spell with the Bankies towards the end of his playing days. A number of young players who failed to hit the heights at Rangers also found their way to New Kilbowie 11/12/2004 Dunipace Scot Jun Cup 3r H 1-3 Hailstones Park over the years with arguably the most successful being Craig Flannigan.

18/12/2004 Yoker Athletic Central League 1 H 1-1 Hailstones This evening it is all about Mark Hailstones and everyone at Clydebank hopes he has a fantastic day and hopefully he 21/05/2005 Benburb Central League 1 H 4-0 Maxwell 2,Hailstones,Fisher can find the back of the net to cap off his day.
