Episode notes

Last week it was announced that Euromillions jackpot winner Colin Weir had been successful in his bid to buy a majority share in Scottish club Partick Thistle.

Surprisingly, though, the news came out that he was giving his share, free of charge, to a supporters group, Thistle For Ever.

In this episode, we ask: how did Partick Thistle fans win the lottery?

Today we are joined by Herald and Times Sport journalist and Thistle fan James Cairney (@JamesCairneyHT) to talk through recent events at Firhill and look at other examples of fan ownership in Scotland.
