| – APJ 30/9/1929. Kenny, Paton, Calderwood, Miller, Ross, McLeod, Wilkie, McGovern, REID, Beath, Young. |

| – 5,000 saw a shock win for Thistle. Beath scored (5) and Aberdeen piled on the pressure. "Feeling" crept into the game and Hunter and McGorm had to go off for treatment. Kenny parried a shot and it was tucked away but Reid got the winner (70). |

| – CE 5/3/1930. Kenny, Sutherland, Calderwood, Boardman, Ross, Hunter, Gordon. POPE, DODDS, Kelly, Beath. (1 og.) |
| – Dodds gave Thistle the lead (1) then a Hunter shot was deflected past the Airdrie keeper for an og. Pope headed in for a commanding lead. Thistle were hemmed in after half-time and a daisy-cutter, a turn and shot and a last-minute smash earned a second replay. |
| 28. Sat-08-Mar-1930 [h] W3-2 Airdrieonians (Scottish 2nd XI Cup 2st Round 2nd replay) |
| – GH 10/3/1930. AET. Line-up as yet unsourced. AN 10/3/1930 REID (2), HUNTER. |
| 29. Sat-15-Mar-1930 [a] L2-3 Aberdeen (Scottish 2nd XI Cup Quarter Final) |
| – APJ 17/3/1930. Kenny, Sutherland, Calderwood, McGorm, Ross, Hunter, Turner, Kelly, JENKINS, McGILLIVRAY, Beath. |
| – After a bright start by Thistle it was all Aberdeen and Kenny was a busy keeper. Thistle were seldom seen in attack. They fell behind (55) but Jenkins scored in a breakaway. Two quick goals followed before McGillivray scored very near the final whistle. |
| 30. Sat-22-Mar-1930 [a] L2-3 Beith (Scottish Alliance) |
| – SC 24/3/1930. Line-up as yet unsourced. AN 24/3/1930 JENKINS, WILKIE. |
| 31. Sat-05-Apr-1930 [h] L3-4 Junior Select XI (Friendly) |
| – DC 7/4/1930. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 32. Wed-09-Apr-1930 [a] L2-4 Queen's Park (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 10/4/1930. Kenny, Hamilton, Ure, Duncan, Ross, McGowan, Turner, KELLY, Jenkins, FRASER, Lindsay. |
| – A goal for the Strollers (1) suggested a lively contest but the rest of the half was a quiet affair with few attacks. Poor defending let in Queens again before a fine drive by Kelly reduced the lead. Fraser equalised soon after but a couple of quick goals made it 4-2. |
| 33. Sat-12-Apr-1930 [a] L2-5 Ayr United (Scottish Alliance) |
| – SC 14/4/1930. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 34. Sat-19-Apr-1930 [a] L1-2 Falkirk (Scottish Alliance) |
| – FH 23/4/1930. Kenny, Sutherland, Hunter, McGorm, Ross, Beath, TURNER, Kelly, Jenkins, Fraser, Campbell. |
| – Falkirk showed better cohesion in the stiff breeze. Thistle made chances but they went abegging. Down 2-0 at half-time, Thistle looked dangerous for a spell but soon fell away again. It was only a defensive lapse that let in Turner late on for "a grand drive". |
| 35. Mon-21-Apr-1930 [h] L0-4 Airdrieonians (Scottish Alliance) |
| – CE 23/4/1930. Line-up as yet unsourced. |
| – A goal in the first minute put Airdrie on their way. They missed a penalty a minute later but although Thistle had a brief spell it was of "a feeble nature". Two more goals before half-time and a fourth after underlined how much better they were on the night. |
| 36. Thu-24-Apr-1930 [a] L3-4 Alva Albion Rangers (Friendly) |
| – DR 25/4/1930. A friendly arranged as part of the deal for the recently transferred Charlie Fitzsimmons. Line-up unsourced. FRASER, HUNTER, MILLER. |
| 37. Tue-29-Apr-1930 [a] L2-4 Hibernian (Scottish Alliance) |
| – EEN 30/4/1930. Wilson, Hunter, Sutherland, Smith, Ross, Miller, Wilkie, McGorm, BLACK (2) Fraser, Brown. |
| – Both centre-forwards scored twice in this open and entertaining match. The second half belonged to Hibs but Wilson stood up to the pressure until the Hibs No 9 completed his hat-trick. A fourth goal followed soon after. A decent performance but Hibs had the pull. |
