Partick Thistle Football Club (the Jags) was formed in Partick in 1876 and moved
to the present stadium in Firhill in 1909. The club won the Scottish Cup in 1921,
winning 1-0 in the final against Glasgow Rangers. The club's other major
achievement was a memorable 4-1 win in the final of the Scottish League Cup
against Glasgow Celtic in 1971.
Despite these major wins and their long tradition, Partick Thistle have
never won the Scottish football league, and in recent years they have declined
as a footballing power. So much so, in fact, that in 1998 Partick Thistle nearly
went backrupt - saved only by a "Save the Jags" campgaign by their fans. Partick
Thistle are the only team to have been relegated twice in back-to-back seasons,
in 2004 and then again in 2005.
Partick Thistle Football Club is located in Firhill, close to Maryhill Road.
Spacious and cozy large beds. Breakfast was fantastic, better than I've had at 5 star hotels. Staff very helpful & friendly. There is also free use of computer and coffee/tea facilities at reception, as well as a library of information leaflets about area.
