| Tue-15-Jul-2025 [h] (1-0) W2-0 Stranraer (League Cup Group B - game 2) |
| – Almost complete monopoly of possession against Stranraer (5-4-1) proved fruitless until Ashcroft headed in a free-kick at the back post (45+2). Stanway had earlier hit the post. The 2nd half was just as one-sided. Chalmers lobbed the keeper from out wide only to be thwarted by the face of the bar. Sub Watt found space at a corner to rifle home (88). A clinical finisher at last? |
| Sat-15-Jul-2023 [a] (1-1) D1-1 Peterhead (League Cup Group B - game 1) W10-9 pens |
| – Milne headed in a Fitzpatrick free-kick (3) and Thistle should have gone on to add to their lead but it was Peterhead who scored. Breaking down the right, a cross was fired past Sneddon for 1-1 (32). Chances became fewer as the game went on with both teams seeing little return for their efforts. Then came a 10-9 penalty win for a bonus point. |
| Sat-15-Jul-2017 [a] (1-0) D1-1 Livingston (League Cup Group H - game 1) L1-3 pens |
| – Thistle had the best of the first half although there were chances at both ends. Erskine swept home the opener (14) but a leveller (46) gave Livingston a boost and Thistle were pushed back. It remained 1-1 however, but Thistle missed 3 out of 4 pens to lose out on the bonus point 3-1. |
| Fri-15-Jul-2016 [a] (0-0) W1-0 Airdrieonians (League Cup Group E - game 1) |
| – Thistle had most of the possession but lacked a clinical finish. Crawford's one-handed stop denied Airdrie the lead (21) then Doolan's “goal“ was off-side (24). Erskine robbed a defender and McDaid set up Doolan for the winner (55). Given the debutants and lack of match sharpness, a comfortable win. |
| Tue-15-Jul-2008 [a] (1-0) W2-0 Stirling Albion (Friendly) |
| – Thistle dominated from start to finish and Albion seldom threatened. Paton scored from the edge of the box (25). Lynch came close twice then Rowson shot just over from 35 yards. Roberts doubled the lead from the corner of the 6-yard box (72). Albion had a few half chances near the end. |
| Sat-15-Jul-2006 [a] (1-0) W2-1 Lancaster City (Friendly) |
| – On a sweltering hot day, Thistle dominated the first half but only had a Keogh back post header to show for it (33). Lancaster scored with a penalty (53, tug in the box) then Roberts scored with one (foul on McGoldrick, 70). Lancaster hit the bar and Tuffey had a good save to deny them an equaliser. |
| Thu-15-Jul-2004 [a] (?-?) W9-0 Royal Highland Fusiliers (Friendly) |
| – An unusual trip to the British sovereign base area of Akrotiri, Cyprus was marked by two games against the Royal Highland Fusiliers, both of which were played at the Happy Valley Playing Fields in the Episkopi Cantonment, before a small number of locals living in the zone. Goals from Ritchie Pacquette (4), John Gemmell, Willie Howie, Andy Ross, Steve Fulton & Andy S. Gibson gave Thistle a healthy first-leg advantage! |
