McCrea Mortgages January Moment of the Month down to the Final Four

Wednesday 3rd February, 2021 at 4:30pm

Last week Thistle fans submitted their nominations for a special retro McCrea Mortgages January Moment of the Month award.

Nominations could have included a favourite match, memorable goal or anything else associated with the Club – the only rule was that it must have taken place in the month of January.

After an intense round of voting over the last 24 hours, we are down to our final four candidates.

Voting is now open for the semi-finals on the Partick Thistle twitter account and through ptfc.co.uk using the “world cup” elimination format. Ties will run for 24 hours with the nomination with most votes moving on to the final which will get underway tomorrow.

Our four nominations for the semi final round of voting are:

1. Scottish Cup underdog success against St Mirren – January 1989. A midweek trip to Love Street saw Thistle overcome the odds to knock out the Paisley Saints. A double from Gerry McCoy aided by a John Mitchell strike saw Thistle run out 3-1 winners in a famous replay under the Paisley floodlights. Click here to vote for this moment.
2. Thistle’s 16-0 Scottish Cup victory against Royal Albert – January 1931. This resounding victory remains Thistle’s highest competitive winning margin 90 years on. It was an afternoon of goals for the 5,000 supporters who made the trip to Firhill. John Simpson netted nine times as Thistle, who would finish fourth in the league, secured Scottish Cup progression. Click here to vote for this moment.
3. Tennent’s Sixes success – January 1993. An incredible weekend at the SECC saw Thistle return to Firhill with the trophy. Two days of entertainment with a fantastic atmosphere saw a strong Thistle side compete and progress through to the final stages. A thrilling final saw Thistle emerge victorious against Airdrieonians to win a trophy that we hold to this day! Click here to vote for this moment.
4. Kris Doolan scoring four goals against Hamilton Accies – January 2015. A cold midweek night at Firhill was the stage for Kris Doolan to become the first player in the Premiership era to score the perfect hat-trick. A close-range finish opened the scoring before a trademark Doolan touch, turn and clinical finish doubled the lead. The hat-trick was secured in sensational fashion with a back heel into the corner of the net from 10 yards. Just moments later the quartet was complete with a deft header on a great night to be a Jag. Click here to vote for this moment.
