SFL First Division Table

Promoted Clyde (champions) and Queen of the South (runners-up) were the new participants. 2 points for a win. Those finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal average. Table figures supplied by John Litster, with the data integrity verified by the Thistle Archive.

League Cup Table

2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. Teams finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal average. Thistle were seeded in the top half of the group stage draw which pitted the top 16 from last season's top-flight against each other, thus ensuring that 4 'lesser' teams from the bottom half of the draw would qualify for the two-legged Quarter Finals. Tabulated by The Thistle Archive by triple corroboration, using the match results published at Wikipedia and London Hearts before verifying them against our own database.
