The Glasgow Herald, Monday Sep 17, 1917
TWO RECORDS
The Partick Thistle team visited Parkhead on Saturday as one of four unbeaten to date, and also as representing the only First League club that cannot lay claim to a victory over the present Champions in a competition inaugurated more than a quarter of a century ago. It appeared at one time as if one record would be maintained and the older legend destroyed, but once again the Firhill team disappointed after a flattering display that ended at the interval. As against Dunbarton, the Thistle forwards expended most of their energy and skill before crossing over, and their defence was not equal to the task of withstanding an attack which lost nothing in vitality by the enforced absence of McMenemy. The Thistle never had such an opportunity to take two points from Celtic as when they stood a goal up and a man ahead at the interval, but until they recognise that the game extends for two periods of 45 minutes each, and that ten opponents are sometimes more effective than eleven, they will add years to a record unique and unenviable.
