St Mirren vs Partick Thistle stats: St Mirren hold the edge in silverware
Major trophies tell the story
The cleanest angle in this Head to Head record is the trophy count. St Mirren sit ahead with 1 top-flight league title, while Partick Thistle have 0.
That gap grows in the Scottish Cup. St Mirren have won it 3 times. Partick Thistle have 1.
The League Cup is level at 1 apiece, so the race is not one-sided. But the biggest prize still leans St Mirren.
The sharpest anomaly is the cup gap
The most extreme stat in these historical matchups is St Mirren's Scottish Cup lead. A 3 to 1 edge stands out more than anything else here.
That suggests a club with a slightly stronger record on the biggest domestic knockout stage. Partick Thistle can match them in the League Cup, but not in the Scottish Cup.
For a stats website, that is the headline. This rivalry is closer in some areas, yet St Mirren own the stronger cup history.
Squad size points to two similar setups
Both clubs have healthy first-team groups. St Mirren list 28 players, while Partick Thistle have 26.
That is a small gap, so neither side looks short on options. It also keeps the comparison tight.
- St Mirren, 28 players
- Partick Thistle, 26 players
- Gap, 2 players
The numbers do not scream a giant difference here. The real separation comes from the trophy cabinet, not squad depth.
Historical matchups lean St Mirren's way
