5 clubs overshadowed by their city rivals

#2 Patrick Thistle (Rivals - Celtic and Rangers)

Patrick Thistle players giving city rivals Celtic a guard of honour for another league title

Those not overly familiar with Scottish football might be unaware that another team exists in the city of Glasgow apart from Celtic and the New Rangers. They have gone unnoticed due to a vast difference in their stature and fortunes.

While their bigger city neighbours shared most Scottish league titles, Thistle have only 2 trophies to their name, 1 Scottish Cup in 1921 and 1 Scottish League Cup in 1971.

The latter came in a famous 4-1 win over Jock Stein's incredible Celtic side of that period but it remains 1 of only a few moments Thistle supporters have had to shout about over the decades.

As most fans flock to the other 2 teams, Thistle have attracted a smaller following, mostly situated in the North of Glasgow and made up of the middle-class and student population.

When Celtic or the New Rangers come to play at their home stadium, Firhill, it's the most eagerly anticipated game of the season for Thistle fans; the same just cannot be said for those in opposition, with Patrick Thistle being just another team to play against.
