Thistle per OH, opposition per SR.
The SR has a different order for Thistle (James Crozier, Bob Campbell, Jacky Robertson, Archie Freebairn, John A. Harvey, David Bruce, William Proudfoot, Willie Freebairn, Willie Paul, Robert Melrose, J. Galloway), and lists Robert Melrose and J. Galloway at the expense of Robert Murray and John Gilchrist. The problem here is that JL lists Murray (1) and Gilchrist (2) as scorers, so we presume that the OH line-up must be correct, with a source yet to be re-traced.

2000 (OH); 2000 (JL)

● Thistle and Glasgow Thistle meet for the last time.

● Thistle's record margin of victory over Glasgow Thistle, which stands to this day.

● John Gilchrist scores his last two known goals for Thistle.

● William Proudfoot scores his last known goals for Thistle, signing off with a hat-trick!

● The 12 goal winning margin matches the joint club-record for a competitive game, which was set on 30-Sep-1882 & 24-Oct-1885.

● The 12 goal winning margin matches the club-record for a competitive home game, which was set on 30-Sep-1882.

● Thistle score 13 goals in a home League game, setting the club-record which exists today.

● Sets the Scottish Football League record, both in terms of goals scored and in margin of victory. Alas, this record will last only 9 months, until Airdrieonians blasted 15 passed Dundee Wanderers. For their cheek, the men from Lanarkshire were duly defeated in their very next game - 3-2 by the Jags at Inchview!

● To this day, Thistle's 13-1 victory has remained intact as the second greatest Scottish League score of all-time, in terms of margin.
