The BEST GLASGOW DERBY you've NEVER heard of!

Forget Celtic v Rangers this weekend. I wanted to shine a light on a lesser known Glasgow derby between Partick Thistle and Queen's Park.
I visited Firhill Stadium in Maryhill to watch this top-of-the-table clash in the SPFL Championship!

Rangers and Celtic fans have a lot of affection for the other Glasgow teams. I remember going to games in the Glasgow cup in the 80s as a boy👍

[@casualsuspect9878]

True fans who support their clubs in every situation. Great to see people who are not only gloryhunters.

[@sharonhopton]

Pity more of them don’t turn up!

[@paulgorman1305]

​@@sharonhoptonwho's your team?

[@paulgorman1305]

Who's team do you support? Do partick and queens park have a big following in Glasgow?

[@AlFrazelle]

​@@paulgorman1305thistle have a decent support, given we have two massive clubs to contend with. Queen's Park don't have many fans but I have massive respect to anyone who doesn't take the easy option in and around Glasgow!

[@michaelshepherd885]

Correct. Gloryhunters are sad weak people who are so insecure they need to associate with "success" they have nothing to do with

[@afx-oy5gj]

Brilliant fans,what an atmosphere to watch,a brilliant game to watch in Glasgow,thanks for the video footy adventures.❤

[@avemaria1097]

It's good to see folk from South of the border coming up you're more than welcome up here lads and lassies

[@Dave619.]

I'm Essex born and bred but my dad grew up a Thistle fan. I was actually mascot for Thistle on boxing day 1987 against East Fife with Thistle winning 4-2 after Billy Dodds scoring all the Jags goals. Been far too long since I've visited Firhill!

[@ianmackinnon5061]

Great to have you at Firhill once again Sam and thank you for shining a light on our club and for all your kind words. Last night was the best night I’ve had at Firhill for a good few years so you couldn’t have chosen any better.

[@camp_bell6929]

This isn't an original observation but your championing of Scottish football outwith the old firm is fantastic. We have such a rich history and it's great to see people, especially non-Scots who've found and loved it for themselves, exploring Scottish football. Keep up the good work! PS It feels longer but Thistle have only been out of the Premiership for 5 years. Hopefully we'll go back up this year!

[@ogdog123]

An Aussie who has been following the Jags for years. Because of Ange success with Celtic I also look at them but Patrick is my true Scottish team. A real club with great supporters. Thanks so much for vlog. My hope is to go to Firhill with my brother and watch a jags win.

[@davecook9770]

Same I’m in oz first game I ever went to was at firhill wi my brother got on the pitch before the game to take a penalty when I was 8 all I remember was Hercules the bear at halftime jags for life now

[@andrewfairweather4127]

Partick is my grandfather's club and my club.

[@geoffpoole483]

A guy called Alex Ferguson once played for Queen's Park. Whatever happened to him? Partick Thistle were involved in the making of the film "Gregory's Girl" back in the early 80's. Entertaining and informative as always, Sam.

[@alanprior7650]

I remember Gregory had a picture of Partick Thistle on his bedroom wall and in the football match ,where his crush scores,they were wearing the sky blue Thistle Umbro away kit.

[@habitantcdn]

Comedian Craig Ferguson often spoke of his support for Partick Thistle.

Great to see the two English lads coming up and enjoying our games at the beginning. Scotland… the last bastion of proper football!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@AlFrazelle]

Aye, was interesting to hear their thoughts on Scottish football. Wonder if they enjoyed their night...

[@SkreltNL]

the black flags are weird tho

[@harrison6143]

Firhill looked even better when it had terracing. Huge, chunky barriers to lean on and wide terracing steps. Used to enjoy a visit there to watch the Accies. You should look at some of the old photos of it online from the 60s to the 80s.

[@alanglasgow1]

Gentrification is really taking place when you can have a laptop & Go Pro in Ruchill Park 😂 Great vid and great game

[@johnrobertgriffiths8435]

Since watching your vlogs Sam, I've learnt so much about Scotish football and especially teams from the lower leagues. Keep up the great work giving enjoyment to so many footie fans.

[@Abeyptfc]

Cracking video Sam, can you come and watch Thistle every week😂. 2 wins out of 2!

[@FootyAdventures]

Haha yeah! And I think I also saw you beat Killie away last season too. Good luck charm for the Thistle

[@vojtechkostovski951]

It's exactly like you said at the end of the video. The only thing I knew before was that in the fall of 2020, during the Covid era, Sparta Prague trained at this stadium before the match at Celtic Park. Thanks to your videos, I already know that the stadium is called Firhill stadium and that a completely unknown team (for me) from Glasgow called Partick Thistle plays there. Thanks to your work on KZbin, I know a lot of interesting things about football. So thanks a lot!

[@algarvejag]

Hey Sam, great to see you back at Firhill. That ‘church’ by the way, is Glasgow University 😊

[@andrewk4990]

Great video, you really captured the atmosphere. Would only point out thistle were in the top flight 6 years ago and not sure if you meant the prem, but the championship doesn't split 🙂

[@FootyAdventures]

Nice. I hope you enjoy Firhill. It's a classic old stadium. Give the club an email and I'm sure they'll greet you at half time on the speakers! I heard them do that to someone from Wales yesterday

[@althejag679]

You should go to The Woodside Inn on Maryhill Road before the game for a beer and soak up the pre match atmosphere. Get talking to the fans, we are a friendly bunch. Unfortunately I can't make it this weekend but I will be listening on the podcast.

[@jasonmudgarde286]

The great thing about your podcasts is that games all look the same from a fan's perspective despite the size of the arena. Brilliant video, keep it up! ❤

[@pripri3404]

Loved the two English guys choosing great wee grounds.

[@althejag679]

Great video as usual Sam. I was there last night, one of the best atmospheres I've been at for years (apart from the Scotland Spain game last week)

[@capricornpicnic4915]

as usual great content Sam. Your championing of Scottish football puts the mass media to shame!

[@hughkelly9638]

Great video Sam, thank you from a life long Jags fan.

[@KyleHendry1998]

Partick Thistle fans are class to be honest, very much like the Crystal Palace of Scottish football, mid sized club with a great singing section

[@lewiswilson1913]

We have the best fans in the league. True fans who follow the jags through thick and thin 🇧🇪💪

Great video! The game being on a Friday night and the fact it was live on telly probably didn't help with away team supporter numbers. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit.

Ma Team!! So proud of them. Thanks Sam, love your channel. Been a Thistle fan since I was a kid. My dad played for them and persuaded me away from the bigotry of the Old Firm. So glad he did. 'MON THE THISTLE'

[@Laziale719]

Great video as always Sam! Having watched the match on tv live, I was chuckling to myself when you complained about the nil-nil at halftime. 😉😂 That being said… hard to watch as a Queens Park fan. 😅 Hopefully Queens Park will have finished renovation of Lesser Hampden soon so you can film a match there (next season)

[@gregsaunders4]

Absolute savage for editing while filming! Absolute dedication and really hope it pays off!

[@GCAbleism158]

May, I suggest going to see a petershill derby between Glasgow City and Partick Thistle (women)?

[@Dundee_fans]

I recommend going to Arbroath vs Dundee will be a brilliant atmosphere. Dundee with a win going top of the league

[@ethanptfc]

Dundee fans are quiet as shite

[@drewsturgeon9511]

Nice one Sam 💪

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Sam,I thought Partick Thistle would have something to do with Alan Hanson outside the ground,on Saturday Carlisle are at home to Northampton this could decide who goes up with Leyton Orient,I'll be there,hopefully you'll be too,this is Choppy in Whitehaven,Cumbria, England

[@Anonymous-je6tc]

hello, brother big fan of yours from India. I always love your content and what you are doing, visiting stadium tours and all. Actually here in India nowadays people are falling in love with football, they also started watching European matches and all. I hope you also please visit India there are so many ISL football clubs and they're soo underrated.

Come to Campbeltown and see the pupils. Nice scran in the Feathers pub afterwards 🥪🍺

[@ronmac9522]

That media box used to be the old pie stall back in the 1970s. My ma wouldn’t let me support rangers or Celtic so I went to see Thistle. Then I moved to mount Florida and for 49 years was a Queens park fan. Nice seeing the old stadium.

[@alanprior7650]

I've been to Maryhill in Glasgow. Nice place. As a Rangers fan it would be great to see Queens Park or Partick Thistle in the SPL.

[@just_some_guy_innit]

both teams can potentially go up if one of them wins the league and the other wins the playoffs, unreal if this happens

[@tartansnow81]

Cheers, very diplomatic .

Your right you can't see paradise is behind you from that point

The bold yin up ruchill Park 😂

[@cathaljosephquinn]

Flew in from Dublin to see Thistle v Dundee a few weeks ago...hospitality was excellent, but the game? Not a shot in the first half, let alone one on target, and it finished 0-0. Don't hate me, but I listened to Celtic v Hibs on the radio as the one I was watching was derisory... sending off, penalties, VAR the lot!

[@AlFrazelle]

Yeah, I watched that game on the live stream and it was awful. Week before had been 4-0 against Raith Rovers too!

[@lsmith6036]

It would be annoying if queens park win the Scottish cup before Aberdeen, i thought we would havd caught them by now, as of what we did in the 80s, it could have happened this season if nit for being thrown out, but cool if queens park go up to the top tier

[@EpicMike7]

Atmosphere was probably enhanced by the match being a 19:45 kick off on a sunny bank holiday. I imagine a fair amount of bevvy was consumed.

Would I be correct in thinking that the stand opposite is the work of Archibald Leitch?

Not sure

[@AlFrazelle]

It's not no, was designed by an associate of his.

[@egpx]

@@AlFrazelle ah right, the gable end in the middle of the roof was a feature of many Leitch stands, and presumably his associates too.

[@BALHAM69]

Your intro made me laugh 😂 Sky sports don’t care about Scottish football or German Bundesliga with lack of interest shown They only care about premier league 😊 You done a good job with Scottish football since your move to Scotland Inverness need wins to get to play offs and promotion if they are to get any chance of promotion They could get to Scottish Cup final now too Same with Falkirk in Scottish league one They have a chance 😊 We are in the business end of the season, you will try to attend the lowland league final and that promotion battle 😊
