Captain Danny Lennon and returning hero Gerry Britton led by example as Queen's Park were swept aside in the Challenge Cup's Glasgow derby. Lennon scored twice and Britton marked his return to his former club by following up with a double of his own. Substitute Martin Hardie finished the rout as Partick took their place in the second round. Last season the two Glasgow clubs were in the same division, but Partick were promoted, Queen's Park took the drop and the gap between them was evident at Firhill. Midfielder Lennon opened the scoring after eight minutes with a 20-yard drive, finishing off some superb set-up play. Six minutes later, the 32-year-old grabbed his second goal by flicking the ball past goalkeeper Graham Smith after the defence had been split open by an Alan Archibald pass. Just before half-time, Britton headed the third goal from corner. And, five minutes after the break, the veteran glanced home his second from a Scott McLean cross. The home side grabbed their fifth goal after 85 minutes when Hardie stroked the ball home from close range.
