Amazingly, Thistle played 17 (SEVENTEEN) matches against non-Scottish clubs in 1972-73 season. On this night '73, a win against one of West Germany's second tier champions. Attendance found and match data improved a little, but somewhat lacking as it stands; 'Match Information' tab introduced; 'Match Report' tab introduced; 'Scrapbook' tab introduced; 'Gallery' tab introduced; 'Stats Watch' tab introduced….

On this momentous night 1884, WILLIE PAUL is promoted from the reserves for his debut. He probably scored well over 250 goals (236 known) for the Thistle and he deserves a statue (as opposed to an unmarked grave). An excerpt from his story...
