Fun facts re Scotland: - Lyndon Dykes averaging way more headers than anyone else at the tournament. Currently on 21.3 per 90 - Kieffer Moore second on 12.5, less than 10 won’t get you in the top 4. - Grant Hanley is winning more of his headers than anyone else - 86.7% so far.

Picked some week to be off work! It’s all go at Firhill, lots happening all of a sudden. I’ll be back on the case from Monday but until then I’ll be enjoying a few cocktails in the Spanish sun 🍹

Thistle fans have already seen Tiffoney, Turner, Docherty and Holt depart this summer for nothing - but they shouldn't expect any more high-profile exits this summer ❌

Kris Doolan insists key Thistle players will stay despite financial pressures

The Jags have lost four key players this month on free transfers but Doolan is confident that no one will be sold.

Tunes on, beers in and savouring a comfortable Thistle win in the league. This honestly hasn’t happened in years. Maybe this football nonsense isn’t so depressing after all. A good bit of fun, even.

One for Partick Thistle fans! I know there will be those who aren’t sure about fan ownership or want to learn more about how it all works, so hopefully this piece answers any questions you might have.

Understand why some fans are upset by this but seems like the right thing to do. Protecting jobs has to be the priority. Thistle have conducted themselves brilliantly during the pandemic and this adds to that IMO. We’ve seen the best of the club recently, long may it continue.

Can confirm that after the fourth went in, McCall was screaming at Banzo to keep the intensity up right from kick-off. Really encouraging to see Thistle (finally!) turn dominance into goals and put a game to bed.
