History of the Partick Thistle v Hibernian fixture

Hibernian face a trip to Partick Thistle at Firhill Stadium on Saturday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Hibees have won 30 of the 98 games compared to the host's 48 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2003, with Hibernian inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Jags in a Scottish Premier match.
