| scorers in CAPS | |
| 1. Sat-13-Aug-1949 [a] D1-1 Third Lanark (SFL Division C South-West) |
| – GH 15/8/1949. Line-up and scorer as yet unsourced. |

| – CE 31/8/1949. Henderson, Husband, Pirrie, Thomson, Forsyth, McCredie, Wright, McCallum, Richards, Crawford, Braidwood. Scorer not identified. |
| – Rovers (with two trialists in their side) put up a brave fight against a much stronger Thistle side. They almost took the lead before half-time. Their defence was sound but the Thistle forwards dillied and dallied too much and they were fortunate to grab a 2nd half winner. |
| 4. Sat-03-Sep-1949 [a] W5-4 Queen of the South (SFL Division C South-West) |
| – SM 4/9/1949. Line-up and scorers as yet unsourced. |

| – MT 23/9/1949. McArthur, Haddow, Pirrie, Thomson, Collins, Brown, Wright, Wilson, Peat, Crawford, Harper. |
| – Thistle had some good individual performances but lacked a senior player to hold things together. Motherwell were more experienced and goals 16, 22 and 44 gave them a commanding lead and the fourth came mid-way through the 2nd half. |
| 7. Sat-01-Oct-1949 [a] W3-0 Albion Rovers (Scottish 2nd XI Cup 1st Round) |
| – CE 5/10/1949. Henderson, Kinnell, Haddow, Thomson, Collins, Wilson, McCallum, Brown, PEAT, WRIGHT (2), Braidwood. |
| – Wright headed in the opener (14) and in 31 minutes a high cross by Thomson deceived the keeper and he found the empty net. Henderson pushed away a penalty, saving the rebound (50). Peat got the third, shooting through the keeper's legs. |
| 8. Sat-08-Oct-1949 [h] L2-4 Rangers (SFL Division C South-West) |

| 11. Sat-29-Oct-1949 [a] W3-2 Airdrieonians (Scottish 2nd XI Cup 2nd Round) |
| – CE 2/11/1949. McArthur, Forsyth, McCREDIE, Brown, Collins, Haddow, Hepburn, Crawford, PEAT, HARPER, Braidwood. |
| – A strong drive by Peat (25) put Thistle ahead. Airdrie equalised but Harper scored within a minute. McCredie scored from the spot (hand-ball) and Airdrie got their second near the end. They rued a load of missed chances. Lucky Thistle. |

| – Wright scored with Thistle's first attack but it was soon level. Peat scored (23) but, again, it was level (33) then Falkirk went ahead on half-time. Peat levelled soon after the restart. Things were even until a soft pen produced the winner. |

| – APJ 16/2/1950. PEAT. Line-up as yet unsourced. Line-up also included Forsyth, Ledgerwood and MacKenzie. |
| – Aberdeen had a lot of the play but missed several good chances. Their keeper had a poor game and when he dropped a pass-back Peat was on hand to score easily (43). Thistle hit the bar twice. |
| 25. Sat-18-Feb-1950 [a] W3-1 Albion Rovers (SFL Division C South-West) |
| – CE 22/2/1950. Ledgerwood, Collins, McCredie, Haddow, Barclay, Mathers, MacKenzie, WRIGHT (2), O'Donnell, Harper, PEAT. |

| – DC 9/3/1950. Ledgerwood, Collins, McCredie, Crawford, Forsyth, Mathers, MacKenzie, Wilson, Peat, Wright, Harper. |
| – 4,000 saw ex-JAG Steadward play a blinder in goal. He had a string of excellent saves. Ledgerwood was also in good form and both sets of forwards found it tough going. |
| 28. Sat-11-Mar-1950 [a] L3-4 Montrose (Friendly) |
| – MR 17/3/1950. Ledgerwood, Hepburn, McCredie, Thomson, Crawford, MATHERS, McKnight, Martin, Fraser, WRIGHT (2), O'Donnell. |
| – “A full-blooded friendly”. Mathers scored (5) but Thistle were surprised by the quality of the locals and went 2-1 down in short order before Wright equalised and scored again (38). A minute later it was 3-3. Thistle edged the 2nd half but it was Montrose who got the winner (69). |
| 29. Sat-18-Mar-1950 [a] L1-3 Dundee (Scottish 2nd XI Cup Semi Final replay) |
| – SP 19/3 and DC 20/3/1950. Ledgerwood, McGowan, Collins, Haddow, Forsyth, Mathers, Brown, Crawford, O'Donnell, WRIGHT, Harper. |
| – Both teams included first-team players. Ledgerwood injured a hand (40) and played on the wing in the 2nd half (Brown in goal). Thistle had a fair share of the play but Dundee had the better forwards and had too much to offer up front. Thistle conceded 10, 51 and 80 and Wright scored 87. |
