DH 25/9/1889. MILLER. Line-up as yet unsourced.
A goal by Miller to take the lead was all Thistle could muster. The Dumbarton keeper was in great form. It was 1-1 at half-time and two more goals meant an early exit from the competition.

DH 13/11/1889. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced.
Thistle took an early lead and, keeping the pressure on, they went 2-up. The locals fought back to level before half-time. A brilliant run led to the winner in the second half.

GH 23/12/1889. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced.
Thistle had the best of things from the start and led 3-0 at half-time. The second half was more even but even then Thistle had the upper hand and scored a couple more for a big win.
13. Sat-28-Dec-1889 [a] D3-3 Kilsyth Wanderers (Friendly)
GH 30/12/1889. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced.

15. Sat-15-Feb-1890 [h] L4-6 St Mirren (Friendly)

16. Sat-22-Feb-1890 [a] L1-2 Clyde (Friendly)
SR and GH 24/2/1890. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. The "big team" beat Clyde 8-1 on the same day. Although reported as a 7-1 loss in the Herald, that seems like a typo as the Scottish Referee has a detailed account which is clear with 2-1. Only 5 Jags turned up and 6 from the Clyde assisted "conscientiously" throughout.
17. Sat-15-Mar-1890 [h] W2-1 Linthouse (Friendly)
GH 17/3/1890. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced.
18. Sat-05-Apr-1890 [h] L1-2 Abercorn (Friendly)
PDE 7/4/1890. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced.
19. Mon-07-Apr-1890 [a] D2-2 Ardrossan (Friendly)
ASH 11/4/1890. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced.
Taking advantage of the Glasgow spring holiday, Thistle's second eleven ventured down to Seafield Park. The game, which was the last of the season for Ardrossan, was very well-contested and ended in a draw, two goals each.
20. Sat-19-Apr-1890 [a] L1-3 Renton (Friendly)
GH 21/4/1890. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced.
21. Sat-03-May-1890 [a] L3-5 Dalry (Friendly)
