Partick Thistle's Hopes Dashed in League Cup Exit
Partick Thistle's Scottish Championship campaign took a hit as they lost to Hibernian in the League Cup quarter-finals. The Jags' hopes of a trophy were dashed by Owen Elding's early goal.
What Happened?
Elding scored the only goal of the game for Hibs after seven minutes. Thistle had an on-field penalty decision overturned by VAR, but it was not enough to secure a win.
Why it Matters for Partick
The loss will be a setback for Partick Thistle, who are currently 1st in the Championship with 6 points from 2 games. They are 2 points clear of Ayr United and will look to bounce back from this defeat.
What Comes Next?
Partick Thistle will return to Scottish Championship action soon, with their next fixture against Livingston on January 9, 2027. They will look to regain their winning form and push for promotion.
In the meantime, Hibernian will face Gent in the Conference League play-off on Thursday. The Easter Road side will look to make a good week a great one, but they will need to be a whole lot better than they were against a gutsy Thistle side.
