compiled to our All Games criteria @ 12-Dec-2024

	Crime Count notes
	5 pts are allocated for a penalty, in favour of whichever team is awarded the kick. Our data is comprehensive from 1891-92 (the season of introduction) to date.
	1 pt is allocated for any given player's first yellow card, the point being in Thistle's favour when an opponent is booked and vice-versa. Second yellows are always ignored as superfluous. We introduce the yellow card count from season 1997-98 onwards as our records are comprehensive and meaningful from that season onwards. Official cautions began in the 1940s and we continue to (casually) build such data with a view to, perhaps, setting an earlier date for our yellow card analysis. Incidentally, the actual yellow card was first introduced to the Scottish domestic game in season 1979-80.
	4 pts are allocated for sending offs, the points being in Thistle's favour when an opponent is sent-off and vice-versa. Our crime count database is 'open for business' from 1886-87 onwards as this was the first season that the English FA decreed that the referee had the power to send a player off, although the first known in a Scottish game wasn't until a season later and the first known in a Thistle game wasn't until 1891. Our data is comprehensive from then to the present day. As per the yellow, the actual red card was first introduced to the Scottish domestic game in season 1979-80.

Squad Stats (basic)

Squad Stats (full)

04-Jun-2023 23:59

Table is limited to all competitive matches played by Partick Thistle in 2022-23, and includes only players who've been listed in at least one match day squad under that category during the season. The artificial addition of 3-points-per-win and goal-difference is for illustrative purposes only. Table sorted by Points; Goal Difference; Team Goals For; Game Time; Starts; Unused Subs; Alphabetically by Forename. Page refreshes will return this order. There were 60 minutes of extra-time. There was 1 instance where a player came off injured and was not replaced. There were 130 minutes of man-down game-time. There were 2 own goals. There were 16 non-assists. There were 20 instances where allocated bench slots were not filled.

SPFL Championship Table

Dundee (relegated), Cove Rangers (League 1 champions) and Queen's Park (Championship play-off winners) were the new participants. 3 points for a win. 2nd Bottom Premiership v Winner of Championship Play-Offs: Partick Thistle 2 Ross County 0 (1 Jun 2023); Ross County 3 Partick Thistle 1 (4 Jun 2023). Agg: 3-3 aet. County won 5-4 pens.

League Cup Table

3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. Drawn matches were to be concluded with a penalty shoot-out, the winner of which would earn a bonus point. Teams finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal difference, then by goals scored. Scotland's 5 European representatives were given a bye, and 3 non-League teams were included in the tournament. The 40 teams were seeded to ensure that top teams and lesser teams were drawn against each other across the 8 groups. 8 group winners and the 3 best runners up advanced to the round of 16 single-legged knockout phase, where they were joined by the 'big 5'. Table figures per spfl.co.uk, with the data integrity verified by The Thistle Archive.

For the 14th time out of 40 (1946-47 to date) Thistle win their League Cup group. For the 16th time out of 40 (1946-47 to date) Thistle qualify from their League Cup group. Conceding zero yellow/red cards in the process is unprecedented in the modern-day League Cup group stages.
