| – The final was not one of high quality but it was closely contested. Thistle gave a good account of themselves but ultimately the Stollers were that bit better. |
| 6. Wed-04-Jan-1905 [a] D2-2 Stranraer (Friendly) |
| – DR 5/1/1905. Wilkie, McClay, Gillespie*, McDonald, Kennedy, Gray, McInnes, Wallace, BLACK (2), McAllister*, Inglis. *Guested from Queen's Park. The Thistle kit hamper went missing and the local team helped out. |
| – An interesting game to finish the New Year holidays. Black gave Thistle an early lead but by half-time they were 2-1 down. He scored again in the second half. Thistle missed a penalty at some point in the match. |
| 7. Sat-11-Mar-1905 [h] W5-2 Glasgow Perthshire (Friendly) |
| – SR 13/3/1905. Wilkie, Arnott, Wilson (A), Williams, Forsyth, Smith, Lawrie, Wilson (W), Reid, Hamilton, Tennant. Scorers as yet unsourced. |
| – Strong defending by Perthshire meant that it was nearing half-time before Thistle broke their duck. They dominated almost all of the second half and went 5-up before Perthshire scored a couple of late goals. |
| 8. Sat-18-Mar-1905 [a] D1-1 Clydebank Juniors (Friendly) |
| – HA. Line-up as yet unsourced. REID. |
| 9. Sat-25-Mar-1905 [a] D1-1 Morton (Friendly) |
| – SR 27/3/1905. FERGUSON. Line-up as yet unsourced, but also included Smith, Andrew and Forsyth. |
| – In dreadful weather on a pitch that cut up badly, Ferguson gave Thistle the lead but it was level at 1-1 by half-time. Both teams has good chances to go in front but the keepers were a match for their efforts. A fair result. |
| 10. Thu-06-Apr-1905 [h] L2-3 Glenbuck (Friendly) |
| – SR 10/4/1905. Strachan, Davidson, Wallace, Gilmour, Forsyth, Colborn, Tennant, Wilson, Miller, Williams, Hamilton. Scorers as yet unsourced. |
| – With several untried youngsters, Thistle found Glenbuck a tough Ayrshire nut to crack. They found themselves down 2-1 at half-time. The second half was even - each team scored once. |
| 11. Sat-22-Apr-1905 [a] L1-3 East Fife (Friendly) |
| – LVA 27/4/1905. Wilkie, Dishart*, Smith, Walker, Forsyth, Gray, Tennant, Hamilton (J), Millar, Hamilton (W), FERGUSON. Thistle only took 10 players. *Dishart was drafted in from Methil FC. |
| – Thistle made good use of the wind and Ferguson shot home a parried shot. East Fife equalised then Thistle unaccountably had a goal disallowed. After half-time the Fifers revelled in the strengthening wind, Thistle struggled and went 3-1 down (the third a pen). |
| 12. Sat-06-May-1905 [a] L2-3 Kilmarnock (Friendly) |
