| 1933-34 (Reserves) |
| The 59th season of Partick Thistle F.C. |
| scorers in CAPS | |
| 1. Sat-12-Aug-1933 [h] D1-1 Hamilton Academical (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 14/8/1933. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |
| 2. Sat-19-Aug-1933 [a] L1-3 Kilmarnock (Scottish Alliance) |
| – KH 24/8/1933. Johnstone, Campbell, Craven, Gemmell, McCartney, Brown, Donaldson, Anderson, Turnbull, Regan, Pinkerton. Scorer as yet unsourced. |
| – A deserved win, if flattering scoreline, for Kilmarnock. In his profuse adoration for all things Kilmarnock, the local scribe forgot to report how the match actually went and who scored! |
| 3. Sat-26-Aug-1933 [h] L0-4 Aberdeen (Scottish Alliance) |
| – APJ 28/8/1933. Johnstone, Kennedy, Craven, Gemmell, Brown, McBurnie, Regan, Fraser, Duncan, Hastie, Pinkerton. |
| – Young Dons in form at Firhill. They scored (37) and a 25-yarder beat Johnstone for 2-0 at half-time. Only 9 Thistle players came back on after half-time due to injury and it was one-way traffic. Thankfully Aberdeen took it easy and only scored twice more. |
| 4. Sat-02-Sep-1933 [a] D4-4 Galston (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 4/9/1933. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 5. Fri-08-Sep-1933 [a] L0-7 Celtic (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 9/9/1933. Line-up as yet unsourced. |
| – Thistle were second best apart from a better performance early in the second half. They never recovered from a hat-trick by a Celtic forward inside the first 20 minutes and it was 4-0 at half-time. Regan went close a few times but 3 more goals after half-time rubbed it in. |
| 6. Sat-16-Sep-1933 [a] W5-3 St Johnstone (Scottish Alliance) |
| – PRA 20/9/1933. Gourlay, Bennie, Craven, McBride, McCarthy, Brown, Persie, White, WYLLIE (2), REGAN, PINKERTON (2). |
| – Saints scored early on then Pinkerton levelled. Soon Thistle went behind but Pinkerton scored again. A third goal for Saints after half-time put 3-2 up but Thistle came on to a strong game and two from Wyllie and one from Regan saw them home deservedly on play. |
| 7. Sat-23-Sep-1933 [h] W4-1 Queen of the South (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 25/9/1933. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 8. Sat-30-Sep-1933 [a] L1-2 Beith (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 2/10/1933. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |
| 9. Sat-07-Oct-1933 [h] L1-4 Heart of Midlothian (Scottish Alliance) |
| – SC 9/10/1933. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |
| 10. Sat-21-Oct-1933 [h] W6-0 Bo'ness (Scottish Alliance) |
| – LG 27/10/1933. Gourlay, Fairbairn, Craven, Miller, Baigrie, Gemmell, Alston, STEWART, McLEOD (2), HASTIE, PINKERTON (2). |
| – Bo'ness opened well and had some chances but once Pinkerton scored it was one-way traffic. Poor defending let in Stewart then Pinkerton converted a pen for 3-0 at half-time. A header by McLeod then goals by Hastie and McLeod again made for a big win. |
| 11. Sat-28-Oct-1933 [a] L0-4 Motherwell (Scottish Alliance) |
| – MT 3/11/1933. Gourlay, Stewart, Turnbull, Pritchard, Baigrie, Gemmell, Alston, Wyllie, McLeod, Hastie, Regan. |
| – Thistle faded after a good start. Gourlay came out but failed to reach a cross and it was headed in (23). A second goal (39) put Motherwell in control. Two more goals (49 and 65) and Motherwell "won looking round". Thistle only showed in attack occasionally. |
| 12. Sat-04-Nov-1933 [a] L2-6 Third Lanark (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 6/11/1933. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 13. Sat-11-Nov-1933 [a] L1-2 Bo'ness (Scottish Alliance) |
| – LG 17/11/1933. Gourlay, Miller, Craven, Brown, McCartney, Gemmell, ALSTON, Wyllie, Regan, Hastie, Pritchard. |
| – Bo'ness were the better side. The crossbar saved Thistle who couldn't beat the locals' off-side trap. They went behind just on half-time. A defensive error let in Alston to level but a header finished off a fine move for 2-1. Brown's penalty was saved late on. |
| 14. Sat-25-Nov-1933 [h] W3-2 Rangers (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 27/11/1933. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 15. Sat-02-Dec-1933 [h] W8-1 Galston (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 4/12/1933. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 16. Sat-09-Dec-1933 [h] L1-2 St Mirren (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 11/12/1933. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |
| 17. Sat-23-Dec-1933 [a] L1-3 Heart of Midlothian (Scottish Alliance) |
| – SC 26/12/1933. KENNEDY. Line-up as yet unsourced, but also included Baigrie, Gourlay and Craigie. |
| – Thistle matched Hearts in all aspects of the game except the "cut and thrust at close quarters". Kennedy was a threat all afternoon and opened the scoring (1) but overall Hearts took their chances, the pick of the goals being a 25-yarder that beat Gourlay. |
| 18. Sat-30-Dec-1933 [h] W6-0 Beith (Scottish Alliance) |
| – APJ 1/1/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. Date uncertain. May have been played 29/12. |
| 19. Sat-06-Jan-1934 [a] L0-2 Aberdeen (Scottish Alliance) |
| – APJ 8/1/1934. Gourlay, Brown, Craven, Baigrie, Donnelly, Gemmell, Alston, Craigie, McKay, Regan, Pinkerton. |
| – Lamentably weak finishing in the first half denied dominant Aberdeen the lead by half-time. They finally went ahead just after the break and Thistle improved but Aberdeen's second came with 10 minutes remaining. |
| 20. Sat-13-Jan-1934 [h] W5-0 Queen's Park (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 15/1/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 21. Sat-20-Jan-1934 [a] W3-1 St Mirren (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 22/1/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 22. Sat-03-Feb-1934 [a] W3-2 Queen of the South (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 5/2/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 23. Sat-10-Feb-1934 [a] L0-5 Celtic (Scottish 2nd XI Cup 1st Round) |
| – GH 12/2/1934. Line-up as yet unsourced. |
| 24. Sat-17-Feb-1934 [h] W3-2 Airdrieonians (Scottish Alliance) |
| – CE 21/2/1934. Johnstone, Prior, Craven, Baigrie, McAllister, Pritchard, McLEAN, Wyllie, STARK (2), Hastie, Pinkerton. |
| – The goalless 1st half was even in chances but it was Thistle who got on top by half-time. Airdrie scored (47) but Stark levelled (57). Again Airdrie went ahead only for McLean to make it 2-2. Stark got the winner (85). Airdrie remained "one of the degenerates down at the foot of the table"(!) |
| 25. Sat-24-Feb-1934 [a] L1-3 Rangers (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 26/2/1934. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |
| 26. Sat-03-Mar-1934 [h] D5-5 Kilmarnock (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 5/3/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 27. Tue-20-Mar-1934 [h] W1-0 Hibernian (Scottish Alliance) |
| – DC 21/3/1934. Wilson, Prior, Craven, Brown, Baigrie, Pritchard, Smith, McKay, McLeod, HASTIE, Regan. |
| – Despite the excellent conditions for football it was a scrappy, dull affair. Hastie scored the only goal of the game in the first half. On chances created, it should have been more. Wilson played with a dislocated figure in the second half but Hibs' forwards were poor. |
| 28. Tue-27-Mar-1934 [h] L2-3 St Johnstone (Scottish Alliance) |
| – DET & PRA 28/3/1934. Johnstone, Prior, Craven, Baigrie, McAllister, Pritchard, Regan, "Newman", CRAIGIE, WYLLIE, Pinkerton. |
| – A header from a long ball punted into the box with seconds to go gave St Johnstone the dramatic win. Thistle had equalised twice before half-time through Wylie then Craigie. Stubborn defending thwarted Thistle after half-time and the winner was so late the game wasn't restarted. |
| 29. Sat-31-Mar-1934 [a] W5-1 Airdrieonians (Scottish Alliance) |
| – GH 2/4/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 30. Mon-02-Apr-1934 [h] W5-1 Third Lanark (Scottish Alliance) |
| – DC 3/4/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 31. Sat-07-Apr-1934 [a] L3-5 Hibernian (Scottish Alliance) |
| – SC 9/4/1934. REGAN, WYLLIE (J), WYLLIE (G) (pen). Line-up as yet unsourced. |
| – Regan pounced on a loose ball (10) but Hibs equalised, Thistle having stopped looking for off-side. Hibs got on top and it was 3-1 at half-time. Wyllie (J) scored soon after half-time. Hibs scored twice more before Wyllie (G) converted a late penalty. |
| 32. Thu-12-Apr-1934 [a] D2-2 Queen's Park (Scottish Alliance) |
| – DC 13/4/1934. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |
| 33. Thu-26-Apr-1934 [h] W5-2 Celtic (Scottish Alliance) |
