Thistle produced a spirited return to form against a good Shettleston team today and were desperately unlucky not to take something from a game that they had fought so hard to get back into.
Thistle hosted struggling Cambuslang Rangers today, probably expecting to pick up all three points. But games between the teams in recent years have always gone with the team who finished lower in the league so this was a potential banana skin – and so it proved to be.

Thistle romped to a big win today against struggling Perthshire. After a first half performance that saw the Jags in front but not entirely set the heather on fire, they blew the Shire away with a tremendous second half showing.
2014 started well for Thistle as they came from behind to record an important away win. The result lifts the Jags to third in the league and is a good boost before next week’s Scottish Cup tie at home to Hurlford.
Thistle were once again without several key players, this week’s new casualties were keeper Davie McEwan who hurt himself at work and Mark Canning who was sick as they took on league leaders Bellshill in atrocious conditions. The wind and rain made it impossible to play any real football and in the end the visitors coped better with the circumstances.
Larkhall Thistle went into this game minus several key players and with three trialists as their only substitutes – but in the end came away with their fourth consecutive away win, a result that leaves them handily placed for a real promotion push.

Thistle went to Govan and had most of the pressure and most of the chances in an open game but in the end left with nothing to show for their visit. The Jags stayed in seventh place in the league despite the defeat, primarily because Benburb didn’t play.
