| – GH 10/10/1892. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 7. Sat-15-Oct-1892 [a] W5-1 Motherwell (William Dolphin Benefit) |
| – MT 22/10/1892. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. Testimonial for a local player William Dolphin but he died 2 days before the match was played. |
| – “The visitors were too much for their opponents and left the stain of a 5-1 defeat in their train.” |
| 8. Sat-22-Oct-1892 [h] L1-7 Heart of Midlothian (Scottish 2nd XI Cup 3rd Round) |
| – GH 24/10/1892. CURRIE. Line-up as yet unsourced. |
| – There was no denying Hearts were the better team. They led 6-0 at half-time. Rice in goal for Thistle was at fault for the first 3 goals as Hearts ran riot, although the score flattered them. Currie got the goal. |
| 9. Sat-05-Nov-1892 [h] D0-0 Westbourne (Friendly) |
| – GH 7/11/1892. Thistle (predicted) per SR (4/11/1892): Walters, McLindon, Willis, Edgar, McKenzie, Scott, Currie, Proudfoot, McKeown, Mulvey, Kennedy. Reserve - Wood. Strangely, the opponents are listed as Northern Strollers in the preview, but listed as Westbourne in the post-match report. We guess that the preview would be most likely to be wrong! |
| 10. Sat-19-Nov-1892 [h] L0-5 Rangers (Friendly) |
| – SR 25/11/1892. Thistle (predicted) per SR (18/11/1892): Walters, McMoreland, McLindon, McKenzie, Edgar, Scott, Proudfoot, Currie, Mulvey, Boyd, Kennedy. Thistle played with 10 men in the 1st half. 2 x 30 mins were played. |
| – Thistle played with 10 men in the first half and trailed 3-0 at half-time. Restored to 11 men after half-time a fightback was expected but it never came. Rangers were far too good for them. |
| 11. Sat-26-Nov-1892 [a] L0-1 St Mirren (Friendly) |
| – PRG 3/12/1892. Thistle (predicted) per SR (25/11/1892): Walters, McMoreland, McLindon, Scott, McKenzie, Wood, Proudfoot, Currie, Mulvey, Boyd, McKeown. |
| 12. Sat-17-Dec-1892 [a] L0-9 Battlefield (Glasgow 2nd XI Cup 1st Round) |
| – SR 19/12/1892. (Predicted) Walters, McMoreland, McLindon, McLoure, McKenzie, Edgar, Currie, Proudfoot, Mulvey, Boyd, Cochrane. Confirmed line-up as yet unsourced. |
| – Thistle played a scratch team besides being 2 men short. 2-down at half-time, Battlefield piled on the agony and scored seven more. |
| 13. Sat-21-Jan-1893 [a] L1-6 Third Lanark (Friendly) |
| – SR 23/1/1893. (Predicted) Walters, McLindon, McKeown, McKenzie, Munn, Edgar, Proudfoot, Taylor, Mulvey, Cochrane, Boyd. Confirmed line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |
| – Forced to pick up two subs from around the ropes (2 of the team failed to appear), Thistle were no match for the Thirds and trailed 4-1 at half-time. Only poor shooting prevented an even bigger score. |
| 14. Sat-11-Feb-1893 [h] W2-0 Vale of Leven (Friendly) |
| – SR 10/2/1893. (Predicted) Walters, McLindon, Willies, Thomas, McKeown, Mitchell, Boyd, Cochrane, Rice, Mitchell, Proudfoot. Confirmed line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 15. Sat-04-Mar-1893 [a] L1-2 Vale of Leven Rovers (Friendly) |
| – NBDM 6/3/1893. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |
| 16. Sat-11-Mar-1893 [h] L3-4 Third Lanark (Friendly) |
| – SR 13/3/1893. (Predicted) Walters, McLindon, Campbell, Thomas, McKeown, Thomas (?), Proudfoot, Sinclair, Gillatry, Cochrane, Boyd. Scorers as yet unsourced. |
| – A closely fought match but one of poor quality. Thirds led 3-1 at half-time with a fourth just after the restart. Thistle fought back however with a couple themselves but that was all they managed. |
| 17. Sat-25-Mar-1893 [a] L3-7 Volunteers (Friendly) |
| – SR 24/3/1893. (Predicted). Walters, McLindon, Campbell, Thomas. McKeown, Gillatry, Cochrane, Boyd, Sinclair, Freebairn, Boyd. Confirmed line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| – Thistle had pretty much their own way in this match against Greenock junior team the Volunteers. |
| 18. Sat-15-Apr-1893 [h] W5-0 Glasgow Perthshire (Friendly) |
| – SR 17/4/1893. Line-up and remaining scorers as yet unsourced. |
| – Against the wind Thistle ran up a 4-goal lead and a large tally after half-time was expected but Perthshire tightened their defence and only one more goal was scored by James. |
| 19. Sat-22-Apr-1893 [a] L3-5 Glasgow Thistle (Friendly) |
| – SR 24/4/1893. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| – Thistle had the wind at their backs in the first half and led 3-0 at half-time. Against the wind it was a completely different story and the home team dominated, scoring 5 without reply. |
