Thistle have been drawn away to Rutherglen Glencairn in the Euroscot Eng Quarter final.
The game will be played next Wednesday 1st June at 7:30pm.
Thistle v Albert, video clips
There are some clips of the game from last Monday uploaded to Youtube, unfortunately the Albert strike for the goal was too fast for the cameraman but Graham Gracie’s goal and the penalties are there.
Larkhall Thistle v Thorniewood United, Central League First Division
Thistle brought the curtain down on their league campaign with a home game against Thorniewood. With both teams safe from relegation and neither able to get promoted there was only pride to play for but they both put in plenty of effort in a decent last game.

Dunipace v Larkhall Thistle, Central League First Division
For everybody connected with Thistle, today’s fixture was overshadowed by the news of committee man and lifelong fan Hugh Kerr being admitted to intensive care. It goes without saying that everybody is hoping for a full recovery and to see a man held in the highest affection by all, back fit and well and supporting the Jags.
As for the game, Dunipace went into it on the back of an 8-1 drubbing at Wishaw whilst Thistle had conceded seven goals in the last two games, so this never looked like defences were going to be on top.
Fixture list updated
The following fixtures have been announced:
Wednesday 4th May – Rossvale home, kick off 7.00pm
Saturday 7th May – Dunipace away, kick off 2:00pm
Monday 9th May – Royal Albert home, kick off 7:15pm (Euroscot Eng Central League Cup 2nd round)
Wednesday 11 th May – Johnstone Burgh home, kick off 7:15pm
This leaves us with Thorniewood United still to play at home in the league and, if we beat Royal Albert, a minimum of one other game – away to either St Roch’s or Blantyre Vics.
