Stats Watch

● George Easton becomes the only Jags manager ever to have gotten through a season unbeaten against both halves of the Old Firm. 4 OF draws and 2 Glasgow Cup exits from Thirds saw the squeaky deal home. It's actually a very difficult feat to achieve; Aberdeen were the last club to do so, away back in 1971-72.

ongoing sequences:

● 15 away League games without a win; 29th Sep 1913 to date. (Longest run since: 17 games; 6th Apr 1912 to 22nd Mar 1913. Club-record: 22 games; 20th Apr 1908 to 27th Sep 1909.)

● 27 consecutive competitive appearances for Jock McTavish, 15th Nov 1913 to date, a new personal best. (Longest run since: Frank Branscombe - 30 games, 19th Oct 1912 to 23rd Aug 1908. Club-record: Willie Howden - 48 games, 25th Mar 1905 to 16th Apr 1906.)
