Matches

scorers in CAPS

1. Sat-18-Dec-1909 [h] D1-1 Queen's Park (Glasgow 2nd XI Cup Quarter Final)

– SR 20/12/1909. Campbell, Kennedy, Bennett, Taylor, McDonald, Murray, Chalk, Williamson, Ballantyne, McLELLAN, Trialist.

– There was a strong start by Queens and it was no surprise when they took the lead. Poor forward play prevented them going further ahead. McLellan scored, profiting from a slip, and Thistle dominated. Queen's were lucky to earn a replay.

2. Sat-25-Dec-1909 [a] L1-5 St Mirren (Friendly)

– SR 27/12/1909. Campbell, Griffiths, Stevenson, Taylor, KENNEDY, Murray, Clark, Jamieson, Thomson, McLelland, Arnott.

– On a treacherous surface Kennedy's fast low shot made it 1-0 then Saints equalised from close in. They played a strong game after half-time but Thistle seemed to be coping until they collapsed defensively and paid the price conceding another 4 goals.

3. Sat-15-Jan-1910 [a] W2-1 Clydebank Juniors (Friendly)

– SR 17/1/1910. JAMIESON, CHALK. Line-up as yet unsourced, but Campbell played in goals and Griffith was in defence.

– Poor weather affected the attendance for what was an attractive fixture at Kilbowie. The homesters had the best of the opening exchanges, but Thistle defended well and a surprise shot from Jamieson put them ahead. Clydebank equalised matters in the first half, and Charlie Chalk, in a second-half breakaway, got the winner.

4. Sat-09-Apr-1910 [h] L0-2 Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (Friendly)

– SR 11/4/1910. Campbell, McNair, Johnstone, Taylor, Stirling, Alexander, Simpson, Lynch, Paton, Cumming, Wilson.

– Arranged to give young Thistle trialists an outing, this didn't work out. None shone. A neat header put the Highlanders ahead at half-time. Thistle wasted numerous chances then a smashing shot beat Campbell. The score didn't flatter the soldiers.

5. Sat-16-Apr-1910 [a] L1-4 Queen's Park (Glasgow 2nd XI Cup Quarter Final replay)

– SR 18/4/1910. SMITH. Line-up as yet unsourced.

– On a “soft, sloppy ground… Thistle were plainly outclassed throughout”. They had a few good spells but it was late on before Smith managed a consolation goal.
