Sorry to hear of the passing last week of lifelong Jag GEORGE MORRIS, aged 89. Was a member of the PTFC history & memorabilia group. An electrical engineer, he played his part in the first floodlights and, aged 19, he got the honour of switching them on, exactly 70 yrs ago.

Tonight, it's the 70th anniversary of that first floodlight match at Firhill. The 15 month old shed (here pictured in February 1956) was first lit up on 14 Nov 1955.

So enjoy a little bit of Thistle history at the Stevie Lawless testimonial this evening, and spare a thought for George. Kenny Pieper said it best... "He brought light to Firhill so we could all watch together."
