Squad Stats (basic)

SFL First Division Table

Promoted Falkirk (runners-up) and Aberdeen (7th) were the new participants as this season's First Division was expanded from 14 to 16 teams. 2 points for a win. Those finishing level on points were deemed equal in their table placing. Table figures supplied by John Litster, with the data integrity verified by The Thistle Archive.

Glasgow League Table

The sixth and final season of the Glasgow League (Thistle's third). Newly joined Clyde returned the number of participating clubs back to six. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. Those finishing level on points were deemed equal in their table placing. Clubs played each other only once home OR away, seemingly with no due care to balance. Table compiled by The Thistle Archive; all 15 games have been press-verified for accuracy, the point below notwithstanding. The Rangers v Third Lanark game (21/3/1906) is listed as a 1-2 win for Thirds in the EEN, but the SR report says that the Third Lanark defence was in fine form and prevented Rangers making any inroads into Third's lead. SFHA and CS back up the latter's report, and we therefore stick with the 0-2 result.
