All at the club were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of much-loved Jags supporter Allan Dickson this week at the age of 91. Rest in peace Allan. Once a Jag, always a Jag. Full tribute > tinyurl.com/4625vpve The club is asking fans at today's game against Greenock Morton to take part in a minute’s applause in Allan’s memory when the clock hits 35 minutes, a nod to the year he was born.

Great! But v Blue Tuesday, 4th May, 1993, 7.31.20pm Jim Delahunt - "Ray Farningham's shot leaving Ally Maxwell helpless." The Gaffer - "AC Milan in Partick Thistle jerseys" Best.

I was there that day. I had started walking round from the shed and was in the middle of the Rangers support behind the goal. Whittaker was only up the field as he had been told to mark Tommy McLean and he had wandered back towards his own goal. What a feeling of joy.

On this day in 1956… Celtic play in our first-ever League Cup final after a decade of trying. The match with Partick Thistle at Hampden ends goalless setting up a midweek replay at the same venue. Bobby Collins, Bertie Peacock and Willie Fernie all shown in action below.

... Thistle previously visited Gayfield twice (1963) and Rugby Park twice (1983) but both of these instances included replays of the same tie...
