Of course, plenty of players who have been on loan at Thistle have gone on to have decent or even very good careers.

But the original question was how many became stars at the club that loaned the player to us. It seems..... none.

Looking specifically at OF loanees, it would be interesting to see how many they had loaned out to anyone in the past ten years who have returned and been successful at either of the ugly sisters. They're at least as guilty as anyone of buying in talent rather than developing it themselves. Surely not more than a handful of players qualify, and by the law of averages few or none would have come here for game time.
