Are the divided opinions split between "That's really bad" and "That's horrendous"? Can't believe anybody liked that!

Hmmmm. That wont scare little children will it? Mascots are meant to be cute.

Our mascot is called Kingsley, but he is a friendly lion. We also have a Queensley, but she is a real tease and seems to be permanently on heat.

A Turner Prize winning loon.

I think they may have something......kids like things that are a bit scary, Shrek and the Gruffalo for starters.

A Turner Prize winning loon.

I rest my case

Superb marketing. Got Thistle trending 7th in the world on twitter. About time Scottish football stopped taking itself so seriously.

As for scaring kids- pah. It's Maryhill, not Notting Hill. They'll love it and the fans will lap up the faux outrage of those who think mascots have to be cute and cuddly.
