1969 - GLASGOW CUP

Mon-11-Aug-1969 [h] L2-3 Rangers (Glasgow Cup Final replay)

The 1968-69 final replay held over from 15 April. Thistle failed to take advantage of an uninspiring Rangers' performance. Bone equalised an earlier goal (53) and they had their best spell but Rangers went 3-1 up. There was time for a Flanagan pen (87) then jittery Rangers resorted to time-wasting.

1971 - SFL SECOND DIVISION

Mon-19-Apr-1971 [h] W2-1 Queen's Park (SFL Second Division - game 35)

Confirmed as champions. Understandably tense, Thistle made it hard for themselves. Queens were given too much space early on and they took the lead but a tremendous shot from 18 yards by McQuade made it 1-1. He could have had more before Lawrie got the winning goal (25).
