The incredible celebrations and pitch invasion at Firhill on Sunday have had fans of most Scottish football clubs in stitches. Rarely had a win over Partick Thistle been so celebrated.

When Kenny Miller sent a cross in for Joey Garner to head into the net it set off the most creative minds on the internet as another hilarious episode on the Sevco journey was marked.

There has been way too many to mention but as the gallant pioneers set off in 2012 they surely couldn’t have imagined that finishing third ahead of St Johnstone in five years later would kick off such excitement.

Eight days after losing 5-1 at home to Celtic in one of the most spineless performances ever seen at Ibrox the same group of players were treated as heroes for beating their Glasgow neighbours who had clinched a top six finish for the first time since the SPL introduced a split in 2000.

This week Pedro Caixinha has the difficult task of telling some of the players involved that they won’t be part of his revolution. Unless clubs can be found to match or better their current salaries some of the Firhill Heroes are likely to be hanging around on the wage-bill longer than the fifth best coach in Qatar.
