Notes

Partick Thistle Football Club are a Scottish professional football club from the city of Glasgow. Despite their name, the club are based in the Maryhill area of the city, and have not played in Partick since 1908. They are members of the Scottish Football League, and currently play in the First Division after being promoted through the play-off at the end of the 2005-06 season. At the end of Season 2007-08 the side finished in 6th place in the first year of Ian McCall’s tenure as manager. They will participate in the Irn Bru First Division during the season 2008-09.

Partick Thistle were formed in 1876 in the burgh of Partick (administratively independent of Glasgow until 1912 when it was incorporated into the city). They originally played on what is now the site of the Partick railway station and Morrisons supermarket near the River Kelvin. They have had a number of other homes in Partick including at the site of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum before finally settling at Firhill Stadium in the Maryhill district of Glasgow in 1909. They had to move as their Meadowside ground was demolished to make way for a granary (which was itself only very recently demolished).
