Would be nice to turn the clock back 70 years to 1948 when we beat the Jags 8 - 2 at Palmy with Billy Houliston scoring 5 of them. However the Maryhill team revenged that thrashing only three weeks later scoring 9 goals without reply at Firhill !

Who remembers a massive game from early 1980 ? The match in question was our good selves against Partick Thistle and there was a heck of a buzz round the town beforehand. Vendors were selling' Rowan Alexander' and ' Forget the rest , Queens are the best ' rosettes outside the covered end. A big crowd inside Palmerston with thousands of Thistle fans included. My memory might be playing tricks on me but I think a very young Mo Johnson either started or came on and Scotland international Alan Rough was in goals for the Jags. Highlight of the game for us was a Gerry Phillips goal from close in as we went down 3-1 on the day. This was one of only two games my dad took me to and we watched it from the stairs up to the main stand.
