| scorers in CAPS | |
| 1. Sat-20-Nov-1909 [a] W2-0 Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (Friendly) |
| – SO 24/11/1909. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced but the line-up included first team experience in the shape of Kennedy @ 9 and Smith @ 11. Stirling is the ancestral home of the A&SH. Their regimental museum is in Stirling Castle. |
| – A goal in either half was enough for a comfortable win. The army side were missing several regulars and made up the numbers with seasoned players previously with King's Park along with “understudies”. |
| 2. 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. |
| 3. 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. |
| 4. 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. |
| 5. 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. |
| 6. 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. |
