Spotted Mick Jagger watching the England game. Seen so many bad tackles already it's only a matter of time before there is Tumbling Rice

The feeling when @kingofpartick orders me some @BoojaBooja from Holland & Barrett to help me feel better and it arrives 2 days late in a solid block 😭

👏 Partick Thistle complete an unbeaten home league season for just the sixth time in their history! In the history of Scottish football, only Celtic (25 times) & Rangers (22 times) have achieved an unbeaten home league season more often than Partick Thistle (6).

I'd like to ask all Jags fans attending tomorrow's match, if they would start & have a minute's applause in Memory of Jags fan Connor Grey who sadly passed away at the age of only 14. Connor's family are the club's guests tomorrow and this would mean a lot to them. Ty #onceajag
