- It's only the 7th of February, but 5 Thistle penalties in 2026 (well done Alex!) already betters each of the last two whole calendar years. Well done to TONY WATT who becomes the second Jag to hit double figures in competitive goal action this term. 1️⃣0️⃣

500 were at the Måsbergets IP on the Wednesday evening of 26 July 1972. Alex Rae scored his last goal as a Jag that night. The beautiful and historic city of Gävle stands as the most northerly host to a Partick Thistle match. #COYJ 🇧🇪 🏆

Thistle's most northerly contest in Scotland was played in the Outer Hebrides on 4th August 1990, hands-up if you were one of the 450 at Fivepenny! #COYJ 🇧🇪 🏆

A possible museum entry... who can give us a bit of background story to this? The ode to Simpson probably refers to the Motherwell game 23/11/1929. Double sided? More pages? Brief experiment? Regular? When did it start? 🤔

Match was abandoned (@ 3-1 Ayr, 87) after a dismissed Ayr player re-entered the fray and started fighting with a crowd-member! Mostly "handbags" but ALL madness. Currently unclear (over to SFA) to decide what the resultant action should be in terms of pts, replay or sanctions...

On this night 2016, an oh-so-sweet last-minute winner vs. Motherwell, STEVEN LAWLESS the man. 2,000 yellow cards handed out to the fans that night and, not to be outdone, STUART BANNIGAN got his straight from the ref! 🟨
