Partick Thistle vs Rangers friendly talks ended by police decision
The Maryhill club had been interested in playing Russell Martin's side in a bounce game on Saturday, July 19. Thistle explored the possibility due to having a free weekend from Premier Sports Cup duty. Wee update for Thistle fans 🇧🇪 Thistle had explored the possibility of playing Rangers in a friendly this afternoon (not behind closed doors) cos they're not playing in the League Cup this weekend. The cops kiboshed it cos Celtic are playing a friendly against Newcastle today. — James Cairney (@jamescairney_) July 19, 2025 It's understood the idea had been floated for a friendly tie - which would have been open to the public. However, the discussions, which were at an early stage, were ended after Police Scotland rejected the suggestion due to a [[Celtic]] match in Glasgow on the same day. Celtic play Newcastle in a pre-season fixture this afternoon with police reluctant to have that and the addition of a match between Partick Thistle and Rangers in the city at the same time. Around 10,000 Newcastle supporters made the journey to Scotland for the friendly fixture at Parkhead. Read more: Instead, reports have suggested Rangers faced Hamilton Academical in a friendly this afternoon - that match was behind closed doors. Thistle are back in action on Tuesday night against Queen of the South in cup competition. Mark Wilson's side have won both of their matches so far in the group stage, beating Edinburgh City 4-1 and then claiming a 2-0 triumph over Stranraer.

Thistle say alcohol trial 'went well' as Ayr United withdraw application
Partick Thistle say a trial to sell alcohol at Firhill 'went well' and was an enjoyable experience for all of the fans who took part. The Maryhill side were in League Cup action with a 2-0 win over Stranraer in the group stages on Tuesday night. They were one of the clubs taking part in an initiative to sell alcoholic drinks outwith hospitality areas in football stadiums for the first time in over 40 years. A blanket ban was introduced in 1981 following crowd trouble after a Scottish Cup final and has been in force ever since. Seven Scottish clubs have now been granted permission to sell beer to those with general match tickets as part of an initiative bidding to show that relaxing the long-enforced ban can 'enhance the fan experience'. Thistle say they are now looking forward to the second part of the trial when they host Queen of the South next Tuesday. A spokesperson for the club said: 'It was great for the club to be involved in the trial. Operationally everything went well and the fans who attended all enjoyed themselves. 'There were no issues with behaviour and we believe that it added to the experience of what was a good night when you consider the result as well. 'We look forward to the second part of the trial when Queen of the South visit The Wyre Stadium at Firhill next Tuesday.' Meanwhile, Championship club Ayr United have withdrawn their application to be part of the trial. They were due to provide alcohol to a small section of match-going supporters at their upcoming games against Arbroath and Forfar, but they have now revealed that they will no longer be participating in the initiative. A statement released on Wednesday said: 'We can advise supporters that it has withdrawn applications for temporary alcohol licenses for the matches against Arbroath and Forfar following further discussions with local stakeholders. Ayr United can advise supporters that it has withdrawn applications for temporary alcohol licenses for the matches against Arbroath and Forfar following further discussions with local stakeholders.

'Supporters who have bought tickets for the events will be contacted directly regarding next steps.'
