	Crime Count notes
	5 pts are allocated for a penalty, in favour of whichever team is awarded the kick. Our data is comprehensive from 1891-92 (the season of introduction) to date.
	1 pt is allocated for any given player's first yellow card, the point being in Thistle's favour when an opponent is booked and vice-versa. Second yellows are always ignored as superfluous. We introduce the yellow card count from season 1997-98 onwards as our records are comprehensive and meaningful from that season onwards. Official cautions began in the 1940s and we continue to (casually) build such data with a view to, perhaps, setting an earlier date for our yellow card analysis. Incidentally, the actual yellow card was first introduced to the Scottish domestic game in season 1979-80.
	4 pts are allocated for sending offs, the points being in Thistle's favour when an opponent is sent-off and vice-versa. Our crime count database is 'open for business' from 1886-87 onwards as this was the first season that the English FA decreed that the referee had the power to send a player off, although the first known in a Scottish game wasn't until a season later and the first known in a Thistle game wasn't until 1891. Our data is comprehensive from then to the present day. As per the yellow, the actual red card was first introduced to the Scottish domestic game in season 1979-80.

notes

Dundee United (relegated), Dunfermline Athletic (League 1 champions) and Airdrieonians (Championship play-off winners) were the new participants. 3 pts for a win, 1 pt for a draw. Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Head-to head points; 5) Head-to-head goal difference; 6) Play-off (only for deciding promotion, play-off participation and relegation). Table per SPFL, data integrity verified by the Thistle Archive. Abbreviations (where necessary): P = Promoted; PPOL = Promotion play-offs loser; RPOL = Relegation play-offs loser; R = Relegated. 2nd Bottom Premiership v Winner of Championship Play-Offs: Raith Rovers 1 Ross County 2 (23 May 2024); Ross County 4 Raith Rovers 0 (26 May 2024). 30 games in 3rd place (30th Sep 2023 to season's end) sets a new club-record for a position outwith outright top or bottom. Overall, it's the longest run since the club-record of 33 games in bottom pace (12th), set between 20th Sep 2003 and 15th May 2004. 3.25 goals-per-game is the largest figure since the (relegation) season of 1969-70 when 3.618 goals-per-game were witnessed. Thistle are awarded no penalties at Firhill for the first time since 1973-74.

notes

3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. Drawn matches were to be concluded with a penalty shoot-out, the winner of which would earn a bonus point. Teams finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal difference, then by goals scored. Scotland's 5 European representatives were given a bye, and 3 non-League teams were included in the tournament. The 40 teams were seeded to ensure that top teams and lesser teams were drawn against each other across the 8 groups. 8 group winners and the 3 best runners up advanced to the round of 16 single-legged knockout phase, where they were joined by the 'big 5'. Table figures per spfl.co.uk, with the data integrity verified by The Thistle Archive. For the 15th time out of 41 (1946-47 to date) Thistle win their League Cup group, and progress to the 2nd Round (R2). It's the 17th time qualified.||
