| Dougie Bell |
 Douglas Keith Bell was born on Saturday, 5th September, 1959, in Paisley, Renfrewshire. The 5' 10½ (11st 0lbs) midfielder signed for John Lambie's Thistle on Friday, 19th July, 1991, having most recently been with Birmingham City. Aged 31, he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 27th July, 1991, in a 4-0 friendly win away to Inverness Select. There were no goals for Dougie during his time with Thistle. He played his last game for the club on Saturday, 1st February, 1992, in a 2-1 win at home to Kilmarnock in the SFL First Division, having appeared as a Jag on 18 occasions. Dougie's club-list included Cumbernauld United, St Mirren, Aberdeen, Rangers, Hibernian, Shrewsbury Town, Hull City, Birmingham City, Partick Thistle, Portadown, Clyde, Elgin City, Alloa Athletic and Albion Rovers. |
 John Lambie described Bell as the fittest player he had ever signed from England just after his arrival from Shrewsbury Town. Despite that praise, Bell rarely featured during the course of his one season at Firhill, 1991-92. He is best remembered during his time at Firhill for his part in an incident during a reserve game with Celtic that saw Peter Grant sent off. |
