As the Thistle fans head up to Firhill for our 3rd round cup tie against our close Glasgow neighbours,there will be many questions on their lips. Will Chick Young make an appearance to give his support to his beloved Elizabeth’s eleven? Will Jags goal machine “Maxi” score again? If we get a penalty will Sid take it?Who will we get in the next round? Will there be a goals famine? Will the referee be changed at the last minute to “Simply the Best” Mike McCurry?Will Kirk Broadfoot play to Scotland form or his Rangers form?But surely the main question will be, will the Jags be wearing their Pink and Grey strips? With the game being on council television, this would be a good chance to show the strip off to the rest of the country and boost sales.
Rangers could probably select three different teams and still be favourites to win. For Thistle,Storey and Kinniburgh I am sure will forget about their head knocks and will be desperate to play,Garry Harkins must be a doubt and Mr McCall may hand Turner his first start.Only Archibald and Buchanan are definitely out.
Win or lose, enjoy the game and be safe.
