ON Monday, Partick Thistle’s Twitter account proudly posted the club’s goals-per-game ratio compared to other teams from the top four leagues in Scotland and England.
Manchester City topped the charts, banging in 3.63 every matchday – in no small part due to the Erling Haaland’s phenomenal start to life in the Premier League – and Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic were in second place, scoring 3.38 per league game thus far. Then, just ahead of Liverpool, sit Thistle in third, providing 2.63 goals per game on average.
The facts speak for themselves: so far this season, McCall’s side have been one of the most prolific in the UK. But the Thistle manager couldn’t help feeling that Thistle’s place in the standings could have been loftier still, had United not been on the receiving end of a 9-0 drubbing by Celtic earlier in the campaign.
