Partick Thistle Football Club (nicknamed the Jags) are a professional football club from Glasgow, Scotland. 

Despite their name, the club are based at Firhill Stadium in the Maryhill area of the city, and have not played in Partick since 1908. 

The club have been members of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) since its formation in 2013 and currently compete in the Scottish Premiership, the highest tier of the SPFL structure, following promotion from the 2012–13 Scottish First Division. 

They are 1 of 2 Glasgow-based teams currently competing in the Premiership, the other being Celtic, with Rangers competing in the Scottish Championship and Queen's Park in the Scottish League Two.

Since 1936, Thistle have played in their distinctive red-and-yellow jerseys of varying designs, with hoops, stripes and predominantly yellow tops with red trims having been used, although in 2009 a centenary kit was launched in the original navy-blue style to commemorate 100 years at Firhill.

Since 1908 the club have won the Scottish Second Division once and the Scottish First Division six times, most recently in 2013. 

Thistle have also won both the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup in 1921 and 1971 respectively. 

They are currently managed by former defender Alan Archibald.
