1951 - GLASGOW CUP
Hampden. 51,300 braved wind, rain and sleet and saw a 1st-time shot by Walker from a corner put Thistle ahead (2). Celtic equalised then they went ahead. With Crawford limping on the wing, Forsyth scored with his only goal and pen for the club (hotly disputed, 80) then Walker got the winner from a Sharp pass (88).  Davie Meiklejohn |

1956 - LEAGUE CUP
Hampden. Thistle were weakened by injuries but contained Celtic in a dull 1st half. Goals (49, 51 and 59) - some aided by poor defending - saw Thistle off. Collins, Kerr and Mathers tried hard but spirit alone wasn't enough and the makeshift defence inevitably wilted. “Celtic were faster and stronger” (GH). Davie Meiklejohn |
