Footymad preview History of the Hibernian v Partick Thistle fixture

Partick Thistle travel to take on Hibernian at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Jags will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 57 and win only 16 of the 91 games.

The last time the two teams met at Hibernian was back in May 2004, over five years ago, with Partick Thistle inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Hibees in a Scottish Premiership match.
