2. Wed-07-Oct-1903 [h] D1-1 Queen's Park (Scottish 2nd XI Cup Semi Final) |

3. Sat-17-Oct-1903 [h] L0-7 Queen's Park (Scottish 2nd XI Cup Semi Final replay) |
– SR 19/10/1903. Tannoch, Gailey, McKim, Thomas, Gillatry, McDonald, Connor, Gray (W), Hamilton, Paul, Law. |
– The scoreline says it all. Thistle were no match for the superior Queen's Park Strollers who led 5-0 at half-time. However, they were unlucky not to have at least got on the scoresheet on their second half performance. |
4. Tue-05-Jan-1904 [h] D2-2 Glasgow Junior Select (Glasgow Junior FA Fundraiser) |
– SR 8/1/1904. Wilkie, McLay, Thompson, Harvey, Murdoch, Grieve, McKendrick, WILSON (J), MUIRHEAD, Gray, Wilson (R). Fund raiser for Glasgow Junior FA. |
– With trialists McLay, Grieve and the Wilson brothers, it took some time for Thistle to get going, by which time they were behind. Wilson equalised against the run of play. A better second half saw Muirhead score but it finished an equitable 2-2. |
5. Sat-30-Jan-1904 [a] L1-4 Orion (Friendly) |
– DEP 30/1/1904. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. The authenticity of this fixture may be in doubt. It is listed under "Montrose Matches" in DEP and nowhere else. |
6. Sat-20-Feb-1904 [h] W1-0 Beith (Friendly) |
– SR 22/2/1904. Clymont, McLay, Johnstone, Craig, Murdoch, Bruce, Soye, Law, Hamilton, HASTIE. Only 10 players listed. |
– In treacherous ankle-deep mud, a fine shot by Hastie put Thistle (trying out some Juniors) ahead. The players did their best in the conditions and it was a close, interesting game with chances at both ends. The Beith keeper was particularly good form. |
7. Sat-27-Feb-1904 [a] L1-6 Kirkcaldy United (Friendly) |
– FFP 5/3/1904. Paul, Gellatly, Orbiston, Gourlay, Murdoch, Bruce, Spence, Muir, Douglas, CRAWFORD, Hastie. |
– A midfield struggle saw the locals emerge as the most likely and they went 3-up by half-time. They had a goal chalked off then made it 4-0. A converted penalty made it 5. It was 6-0 before Crawford scored then United fired a pen wide. Thistle were poor all over. |
8. Sat-02-Apr-1904 [a] W3-1 Rosebank (Friendly) |
– DEP 2/4/1904. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. The authenticity of this fixture may be in doubt. It is listed under "Montrose Matches" in DEP and nowhere else. |
9. Tue-03-May-1904 [a] L1-5 Rangers (Govan Distress Relief Fundraiser) |
