That the Parliament recognises that 19 February 2026 marked the 150th anniversary of the first recorded match that Partick Thistle contested, which was played at Overnewton Park and ended with a 1-0 victory over a local Glasgow side, Valencia; recognises the role that Thistle played in the development of football in the area, becoming the pre-eminent club in Partick; recalls that the club was obliged to move from its Meadowside Park home in 1908 to make way for the construction of the Meadowside granary, and chose to relocate to Firhill Park in the Maryhill area, where the team is based to this day, winning its first match played there, against Dumbarton Harp on 18 September 1909, 3-1; celebrates the Jags' many achievements enjoyed over the years, including a Scottish Cup win over Rangers in 1921 and a renowned 4-1 victory over Celtic in the 1971 League Cup final; recalls with fondness the many great players who have played for the club, including record goalscorer Willie Sharp, record appearances holder Alan Rough, Johnny McKenzie, the only known native Gaelic speaker to have been capped for Scotland, and the mercurial Chic Charnley; recognises those who have managed the club with distinction, including David McParland, Bertie Auld and John Lambie; thanks those who, over the club’s history, have volunteered their time for the club they love, such as the late Robert Reid, who served variously as the club secretary, historian and honorary president; welcomes the Jags’ role as the "Great Glasgow Alternative", and wishes the club every success in its aim to win promotion in its 150th year, and further wishes it the very best for the many years ahead.
