notes

Thistle generally in playing order, opposition in squad number order.

SPITTAL ON FIRE AGAIN

● Blair Spittal sets a new personal-best run in the team, with his 23rd consecutive competitive appearance.

● Each of Thistle's last 5 goals have featured Blair as scorer or provider.

● With his 117th goal, Kris Doolan becomes the all-time highest scorer in our Major Competitive category, one more than Willie Sharp who had held the position for almost 62 years.

● With his 10th goal against the Doonhamers, Kris now sits as our second highest ever scorer against them, and is now chasing down Willie Sharp (16). It's the first time Dools has went into double figures against any one club.

● With their third consecutive win over Queen of the South, Thistle are one away from equalling the H2H record (4) set in 1958.

● Thistle go 7 home League games unbeaten against Queen's, beating the previous record (6) set in 1987 and equalled in 2008.

● Thistle have yet to move down the League table this season. Can they keep it going all the way?

● Alan Archibald continues to defend his excellent record of never having lost a second-tier match at Firhill. To better the club's current 12 game run, you need to rewind back to John Lambie's remarkable season of 2001-02, when the club went through the entire season unbeaten at home in all competitive action, which contributed to a 19 games run unbeaten at home in the second tier.

ongoing sequences:

● 12 second tier home games without defeat, 19th Jan 2013 to date. (Longest run since: 12 games; 22nd Sep 2007 to 1st Apr 2008. Club-record: 25 games; 22nd Aug 1896 to 21st Dec 1901.)

● 17 competitive games without a draw, 8th May 2018 to date. (Longest run since: 20 games; 24th Apr 2010 to 6th Nov 2010. Club-record: 27 games; 18th Feb 1899 to 23rd Dec 1899.)

● 23 consecutive competitive appearances for Blair Spittal, 31st Mar 2018 to date, a new personal best. (Longest run since: Ryan Edwards - 35 games; 8th Aug 2017 to 3rd Apr 2018. Club-record: Johnny Jackson - 313 games; 28th Aug 1926 to 25th Mar 1933.)

● 55 games since back-to-back League wins, 11th Mar 2017 to date. (Longest run since: 71 games; 16th Apr 2013 to 14th Mar 2015. Club-record: 77 games; 2nd Nov 1912 to 5th Dec 1914.)
