Plenty of contenders, but one gaffer stood above the rest. Saturday was about control, ruthlessness, and big players stepping up — and he ticked every box. The result was one that few saw coming, and it pushed his side into the spotlight.
“Magic McKnight: Clydeside Athletic Boss Scoops Top Award After big result”
James McKnight, manager of Clydeside Athletic, has been named Manager of the Week after guiding his side to their first league victory of the season.
This was no ordinary victory, this was an epic 5-4 win over Bishopton FC who have themselves been playing really well recently.
#ManagerOfTheWeek
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on James McKnight, the gaffer down at Clydeside, who has shown some real determination and grit to help get his team back on track with a vital win.
Enduring a Tricky Campaign
Usually high flying Clydeside Athletic have experienced a torrid campaign so far.
Life in the Premier League is challenging, but injuries, suspensions and player availability has reeked havoc on Clydeside’s season so far.
Manager James McKnight is starting to steady the ship, and he is now beginning to see the rewards of his hard work.
The Result Against Bishopton AFC
NINE goals. That is the staggering tally from an instant-classic contest that saw Clydeside Athletic edge out Bishopton FC in a breathless 5-4 victory.
In a match where defenses seemed optional, the two sides traded blows relentlessly. Clydeside consistently found an extra gear, always managing to restore or extend their slender advantage just when it looked like the opposition had clawed their way back.

THOUGHTS FROM THE MAIN MAN
“Honestly, I’m absolutely delighted! The feeling of finally getting that first league win… it’s just phenomenal. I’m so incredibly proud of every single player in that dressing room. They have worked relentlessly, showing up week after week, and today, they got the reward they truly deserved. We saw some absolutely fantastic, exhilarating attacking football out there today.”
“The quality of the finishing, the link-up play, the sheer will to win—it was all top-drawer. This result is massive for our confidence and morale. We’ve shown we can create chances, we can score, and most importantly, we can get those vital three points! We’re going to enjoy this moment, celebrate this win, and use it as a real platform to kickstart our season. The fight, the spirit, and the heart were all there today—and that’s what I’m focusing on!”
