The distinctive red and yellow taxi will be taking supporters from the bottom of McParland Way to the Jackie Husband Stand Reception, starting at 1:30pm.

The Thistle Taxi, kindly provided by club sponsor Glasgow Taxis, can seat up to six people and will be making multiple trips ahead of kick off.

 

PlayerZone

There will be no PlayerZone after this weekend’s match against Falkirk.

00’Introduction

We've had kinds of weather so far today. Right now the sun is shining bright over a magnificent looking Firhill playing surface. 

The Thistle side that will start the game on that surface shows just the one change from the side that drew with Livingston last Saturday. 

Scott Robinson starts this one after a sub appearance 7 days ago on his return from injury. Ricco Diack is the player that drops to the bench.
