Notable events

Season 2009–10 marks the Centenary of Partick Thistle at Firhill Stadium. A Centenary Top (in the Club's original navy blue) is to be released by their official partners Greaves Sports and the Club also set up a Centenary Fundraiser with the slogan "£100k for 100 Years".

With 2009 also being Alan Archibald's Testimonial Year, several functions were held and a Testimonial Match against a Liverpool XI played. This game took place on Tuesday 11 August,[2] the match ending in a 1-1 draw.

Having been with the Club in a playing capacity until the end of season 2008-09, Simon Donnelly returned in a player-coach role following the departure of John Henry, First Team Coach, to Burnley F.C.[3][4]
