Partick Thistle had a weekend of contrasting results across their men's and women's teams, with a draw in the Scottish Championship and a victory in the SWPL. The men's side remains second in the league, just two points off the top spot.
How did the men's team fare against Inverness?
Partick Thistle drew 1-1 with Inverness Caledonian Thistle in a Scottish Championship match on Friday night. Head coach Scott Kellacher told the Inverness Courier that a point against a team tipped for the title was a positive result. He felt his side improved after a difficult first half and deserved their late equaliser.
Kellacher said his players showed character to fight back from a goal down. "We went 1-0 behind and credit to the boys, they showed character, fight and desire to want and get something from the game," he was quoted as saying. The result leaves Thistle with eight points from four games, having scored four goals and conceded just one this season.
What was the outcome for the women's team?
The Partick Thistle women's side secured a comfortable 3-0 away win against Aberdeen in the SWPL on Sunday. According to a match report from BBC Sport, goals from Abby Robinson, Sophie Townsley, and Imogen Longcake sealed the victory for Gary Holt's team. The win moved Thistle up to sixth place in the SWPL table.
Robinson's strike was her first for the club since joining from Kilmarnock. The comprehensive performance provided a boost after the women's team had opened their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against newly-promoted Spartans the previous weekend.
Where does this leave Partick Thistle in the title race?
The men's team's strong start has them firmly in the promotion conversation. With a record of two wins and two draws, they are currently second in the Championship, trailing leaders Stenhousemuir by only two points. Their defensive record is a key strength, with just one goal conceded in four matches.

What are the next challenges for the club?
Both squads face a busy period ahead. The men's team must build on their unbeaten start and turn draws into wins to apply pressure on the league leaders. Squad depth and fitness will be tested, and details on player availability can be found on our injuries page.
For the women's team, building momentum after a big away win is the immediate focus.
