Match Lists (Reserves)

Reserve football gets very little coverage. The Archive will be offering you the most comprehensive record of Thistle’s reserve fixtures, results and team selections ever compiled.

The vast majority of fixtures we will be loading over the next few months relate to seasons where shirt numbers actually meant something so look out for players who started in one or more position(s), yet became a club legend in another.

Watch too for scoring feats that barely got a mention – the mysterious “Phillips” who scored 8 against Brechin city on 23/2/1929 yet there is no record he ever played for the club again and McKay’s first half 5-goal haul against Falkirk on 14/12/1929. Who were the hundreds of unknown trialists? Did they ever make the grade?

Compilation is hampered by lack of coverage but the search goes on. In the meantime we must pay tribute to the club’s Honorary President Robert Reid for the hundreds of reserve match reports published in club programmes over the seasons. These will form the basis of many of the potted reports.

For now, we're pleased to present the Partick Thistle reserves history up to season 1931-32. The remaining seasons will follow as time allows. The lighter links in itallics highlight the 5 seasons where there were no recorded matches.
