ALAN ARCHIBALD'S FINALE

● Thistle lose a home League match in the second tier for the first time since December, 2012.

● The 2 goal loss matches our record negative margin of defeat at home to the Dingwall side.

● Thistle's poor record at home to County in the second tier continues; Jags have won only 3 of the 15 clashes.

● The 25th managerial reign ends. Following 18 months of painful decline, manager Alan Archibald is sacked shortly after the game. At 5y, 8m, 6d, his tenure in the hotseat was the longest since Bertie Auld (6y, 4m, 17d) and the sixth longest of any Thistle manager in history. Before the game, he stood as second only to Jim McInally (Peterhead) as the longest serving manager in the SPFL.
